Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, postal workers have been on the front lines, considered "essential workers" who must continue to do their jobs as usual while others stay home.

It isn't the USPS motto.

It's just words put on the post office building in NYC by the architect, who thought it sounded clever.

Never anything official.

No bills in the mail, no bills being paid. Complete collapse of 10% of the businesses in this country. Perhaps that is what the left really wants.

Should really help the dems push for vote by mail.

Here in MA, the dems are pushing nomination signatures by mail.

There are no moves on their part to slide out the April 28 nomination deadline. So, there will be many less R candidates, and what candidates do run, have to spend inordinate time and money to mail nomination sheets to individual voters (with pre-paid return envelopes).

So, Nancy wants to put in place voting by mail while also “bailing” out the postal service? Sounds like collusion to me.

Delivery twice a week is more than enough for most households. If you need more often, pay a monthly service fee.

I am friends 4 postal deliverers. They are overwhelmed with Amazon packages. One of my friends retired as a result. They have to go back in the middle of the day to re-load their car with more packages because all of the amazon deliveries won’t fit. The postal service has become little more than a cheap delivery service for Bezos.
