"Historically, mailboxes have been removed for lack of use and installed in growth areas," she said in an emailed statement. "When a collection box consistently receives very small amounts of mail for months on end, it costs the Postal Service money in fuel and work hours for letter carriers to drive to the mailbox and collect the mail. Removing the box is simply good business sense in that respect. It is important to note that anyone with a residential or business mailbox can use it as a vehicle to send outgoing mail."

Thousands collection boxes were removed while Biden was VP. Not peep from the perpetually outraged.

A company I worked at did large mailings such as billing statements and direct marketing mail. Like everyone else that needs to do a large mailing, we sorted the addresses and printed the mailing in carrier route order with the delivery point barcode as part of the label. The mail was banded and delivered to the post office in trays. It never needed to pass through these machines. We also worked with the Post Office to ensure that our mail met their standards for efficient delivery.

First they came for phone booths, I said nothing because I had a cell phone.
Then they came for the mailboxes, I said nothing because the mailman picks up mail at my house.
Then they dismantled the high speed sorters, I said nothing because machine compatible mail volume is less than half what it was 20 years ago.
Orange man bad.

Make sure you wear a bike helmet over the tin foil. Tin foil won't protect against the falling sky.

Seinfeld crisis about nothing.

Just a coincidence they're from the same political party?

Hell they're still disputing Gore Bush.

Sore losers are still disputing the last one.

Chicken little. Where have I heard this before. Ventilators. Maybe we can convert all the ventilators we didn't need into mail sorting equipment.

They're counting on it to be a cluster so Pelosi can be interim president.

You STFU, vote in person or don't wait until the last minute to vote absentee.

And now Danni doesn't understand that if you remove a machine that take up a large amount of floor space, that space becomes available for another purpose.

Well, we polled Danni and she hasn't reduced her mail usage so the postal service must be mistaken about their volume drop.

RR Donnelly must be in on this conspiracy because they've closed many of their direct mail and billing statement printing facilities.

Then why again is the mail slowing down? Because package volume is up.

The postal system is used to peaks in volume, they happen every year.

since package volume is up and mail volume is down, removing underutilized machines occupying valuable floor space makes sense. Naturally the left objects.

So add this to the list of nothing that Joe did in his 40 years of "service".

I don't know when the changes to pension system were made, but it was long enough ago only that only someone with TDS would blame Trump. Why didn't Joe make postal pension reform a priority, he's only been in government 40 years?

Probably has nothing to do with the volume of mail dropping every year since 2000 and gains in productivity due to automation. Online bill pay much?

Never the less, I can't Hans it but I'm sure more than one said they would vote for poo. So I'm sure they're very happy to vote Kamala.

Prominent posters on this very weblog have said that Biden could have nominated a steaming pile and they would still vote for the team.

Show of hands, does it bother any of you that I like Ms. Harris? Trump should pick her as running mate too.

Give it a little time to sink in and you'll come around and sing her praises.

Joe is surprised too. He like the one that smelled like Prell.

You're right. As a female Kamela was powerless to refuse his advances, lacking the ability to reason and not accountable or responsible.

A man that sleeps with the boss to get a promotion would also be looked down upon.

What decade is it in your world that never actually existed except in the imagination of Marxist/Feminist professors?
