The U.S. Postal Service began changing first-class mail delivery time frames in October.

"This change may result in mailed statements, new or replacement cards, and payments you mail, taking longer to arrive." - I received this message in my online bank account this evening. I have a different account that is required to mail me a monthly hard copy. Five years ago, that statement would arrive before the 10th. More recently, around the 15th. This month, already the 20th, and still no statement. Let's Go, Brandon!

I got my first package through the new post office. It was opened and the contents were wrecked. Took three weeks to be delivered.

I get about 1-2 pieces of real mail every 10 days or so. The rest (probably 15-18 pieces in the same 10 days) is all junk mail.

Mail will be delivered faster if you use tan envelopes.

Still More #ComDem_Insanity!

I use a rural water supply system for my house at the farm. On 9-3-21 I paid the water bill, it is normally the minumum which is $60. When I received the next months billing on 10-5-21, it showed that I had a late charge and they had not received my check. I called them and gave them the check number number and date that I used to pay the bill of 9-3-21 and told them I had mailed them another check for the amount of both months.

3 days after mailing the 10-5-21 check I got a phone call from the rural water supply company, both checks had arrived on the same day. The one from 9-3-21 and the one from 10-5-21. (They tore up the 9-3-21 check) I get mail delivery almost every day. Now, where do they pigeon hole such letters?

The water supply company does not furnish a return envelope, the check was sent in a plain letter size envelope with hand written (printed) addresses.

The rural water supply company knows me. They knew I paid my bills on time and they told me they had other such instances. They do not have a bank draft option.

I have the exact same mail delivery problem with my water supply company, except they don’t waive late fees.

I have it on very good authority, that in my neck if the woods anyway, you may not even get your junk mail.

No biggie to me, but some biz or org paid to have that delivered.

“They do not have a bank draft option”

I think you might have hit on something.

The elites are raising their expectations—it is the masses that will need to learn to obey and lower their expectations.

Think of it as “progressive” policies in action...

The Washington Post wrote the same editorial over the weekend.

Lower expectations?

For those not old enough to remember, Jimmy Carter campaigned for lower expectations in 1980 against Reagan.

That worked out well very well for Conservatives!

Hmm, “lower our expectations” versus “make America great again.” I’m struggling to decide which is better...
