Well hell yeah they can afford this after they gutted our rural P.O.s forcing experienced postmasters into retirement and manning offices with know-nothing morons as clerks. Not to mention slashing hours in half so they are all closed when working people get off. Yes they really did a number on us glad the ones who got to keep the high paying job have no problem rewarding themselves on the savings.
About 90% of the rural post offices serve no purpose that a rural letter carrier can’t serve. Best to close 28,000 of them as soon as possible.
