Another consequence of f'n with USPS. As John Oliver reminded us , jury summons come

through the mail. How many people will have warrants issued for their failure to appear in answer to a summons that they never got????

One of my favourite Dan Fielding lines- "A jury of my PEERS?????Twelve people who were not bright enough to get out of jury duty?????"

Really limitless.

I worry about bills sent thru the mail. In the last few years, the turn around on bills has shrunk significantly. I noticed it more so when I moved to a really rural area. Right away, it seemed the bills were arriving later by a day or so. I do most of my bill paying online so as soon as I get the paper bill which is really a reminder that it’s due, then I just log on and pay it. But, I can’t help bu t worry about those people who rely on the mail both receiving and then mailing back the payment by the due date.

What Trump and the USPS Postmaster General are doing is just criminal.
