Ah, but you see? These storms are caused by global warming and even the post office can not stand up against that.

Just change the rules and you no longer have “appointed rounds”. Simple.

That was before cell phones, the Internet, and the digital age.

I hear a lot of places don’t have power. A friend in NorCal just sent a message saying he had to go stay in a motel that has a generator so he could keep warm. I tried to convince him to buy one but he said he just plugs into a neighbors generator. Sigh. I guess that neighbor moved or ran out of gas.

No power, no cell towers, no Internet connectivity which the USPS, UPS, Fedex, and others count on to record their deliveries. The GPS in their trucks should still work though.

That isn’t a law. It just fit on the front of the NYC post office building.

That was before they let the deadbeat bureaucrats unionize and form The Deep State.

Exactly. They are supposed to deliver the mail, no matter what.
