8. This. The postal system is already in grave danger.

The longer certain political figures piddle around waiting for opportunities to act out for the cameras (without actually accomplishing anything), the worse things get.

18. I am already receiving some mail late. Never received a utility bill I should have received 3 weeks ago. I ordered 2 things from 2 different places over 2 weeks ago and still haven’t received them. A piece of mail from my congressman regarding applying for a mail in ballot for our August 4th primary arrived two days past the date to apply. Luckily I have been keeping up with vote by mail. In Missouri it is difficult to vote by mail or vote early, but this year they have made a few exceptions, so we were able to do so. We mailed it in two weeks ago. For November we plan to take them to the election board or drop box.
It is ridiculous trump is getting away with this. He doesn’t seem to realize many of his supporters are allowed to vote by mail and will hurt his supporters as well.

17. The first responsibility he has is the unfettered, accurate and speedy delivery of the mail.

Its in the contract and the law. Anything he chooses to do must facilitate that first. If he chooses otherwise he falls foul of federal law and USPS procedures. Not only can he lose the job, he can go to prison along with paying some rather steep fines. Not to mention contempt of congress (yeah, I hear you).

Slap him with subpoenas. Send the D.C.National Guard to collect his ass. Make him explain the memos and the delays in detail on camera under oath.

They are such little fascists...

And your utility has no online presence? They do not send you an email about your bill or a website you can log into?

Have the PO's cost cutting measures even taken effect yet? Did the bill get delivered to a neighbor who tossed it instead of bringing it over to Rebl2. Did Rebl2's mail carrier decode to dump a bag of mail into nearby woods instead of delivering it (a mail carrier "tradition" going back decades). That deserves negative s.
