With the holiday season just around the corner, the U.S. Postal Service is looking to hire about 28,000 seasonal workers and is installing 137 new package sorting machines in an effort to avoid shipping delays.

As if people have money for shipping fees for the gifts they can’t afford to buy.

I imagine the mailmen are pooped out after this last Banana Boater Voter Mail in Election. The RATS have outdone themselves.

We have to pickup our mail at the post office and the UPS driver puts us last on his route as he has to put chains on his truck to get to our house. So - not a lot of changes.

The USPS has been delivering election ballots in the wee small hours of the morning for years now. How is this news?

The goal is to create a dust up about mailmen being attacked in 'communities of color' and how if they complain about being robbed they're RACCISS...

Democrats gotta stir the pot.

This happened a couple of times already, with the post delivering the wrong package to my house. in the old days I probably would have just gone a couple of blocks and you know put it on the right porch if it was close. Nowadays I just take it right back to the post office, it’s their job, they can deliver it I ain’t going to get shot over being a friendly neighbor.

My mail has been delivered at night (even past 9 pm) for about six years. A while back when he missed his delivery he did it at 8 am the next morning. Now he just delivers two days at one time. Yeah, its a diversity hire.
