I will celebrate when the clintons are dead dead dead.
LOL. Don’t give them any new ideas!
and a new forever stamp to honor him perhaps as early as his June 12th birthdate.
... and there you have it.
A HUGE way the post office now makes its money is by junk mail. Those companies WE ALL despise are keeping the post office doors open; the grocery ads, the fake ads, the ads that sure seem like scammers.
They are the reason to keep the post office doors open.
That’s why jerks who put a note on their mailbox saying not to leave “junk mail” are dreaming.
The post office always takes a day off when an ex-president dies.
“They do nothing useful anymore.”
—
Sure they do,after hours——they provide lots of parking spaces for a couple of popular restaurants near me. :-)
.
Seriously?
why?
A dead president is not that big a deal,
unless he was assassinated.
No one around here gets their mail delivered anyway. We have to pay extra for box rent and drive 5 miles to the paved road where the closed post office is and a further 14 miles to the post office. My local post office has been closed over a year out of the last 5 but I still have to pay box rent. Maybe they should charge city people for mail delivery like us rural customers so the operation would not go broke.
It would be nice if instead they could honor him by delivering the mail extra-professionally that day.
I’m sure no new money will go into the coffers of the Postal Union either that day (sarc)
“We will provide limited package delivery service on that day to ensure that our network remains fluid and we do not experience any impacts to our package delivery operations that might negatively affect our customers or business partners during the remainder of our busy holiday season”
Yep, Bez0$ p0wn$ us. Amazon is our Master.
That doesn’t honor him.
More ‘double pay day’ than day off; it’ll effectively be a ‘Sunday’ delivery, though quite likely with a heck of a lot of USPS package delivery mixed in as well.
I do online sales and rely on the USPS but Wednesday has been declared a National Day of Mourning -
“announced by President Donald Trump on Saturday, will honor the 94-year-old former president who died Friday night. The federal government will be closed on Wednesday, as will the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. A state funeral will be held at the Washington National Cathedral that day, beginning at 11 a.m.”
This was also done for former presidents Ford and beloved Ronald Reagan.
I bet it stayed open when Benjamin Franklin died... Just saying.
Did they suspend mail delivery when Ronaldus Magnus passed?
They weren’t the King of the Cabal like George HW Bush was.
This has been done for other presidents; here’s an article from 1994, when President Clinton declared a National Day of Mourning for Richard Nixon:
I don’t understand all the vitriol over this. I’m glad that we maintain these traditions, regardless of who the individual men honored may have come to be seen - even in the eyes of those who once supported them.
The traditions honor and reflect respect for our system and offices, and for service.
It’s one day to honor a man who gave great service to his nation. It seems very small, in this moment, to think of it otherwise.
Good grief.
He wasn’t that great.
WTF?
