Some people should really read their own link firs

i read the link, The one paragraph you and SF quoted, does not disqualify the rest of the article that does not agree with your narrow assessment.

It was a balanced look at many variables.

Somehow, you think it is a gotcha. Life, is not a gotcha.

I get mine right on schedule, including Saturdays.

UPS, FED Ex, USPS, and others, are all having issues right now.

We ship and receive a lot of packages daily…the consistency as of late, is not on par.

My USPS is not. Got a book in the mail yesterday. It was expected tomorrow.

I live in silicon Valley…pretty populous area. Safe to assume, larger populations are having more issues.

What? What do APOs have to do with you?

It’s not about me, there are multiple discussions going on here. This one was about general mail disruptions which my link showed. This discussion started here;

Was that when they received 10 billion dollars and promised that they could deliver every parcel?

That link addresses overseas mail that was restricted because of COVID. Probably fear of contamination. I don’t see the relevance.

Huh, I sent a gift to an address in Houston. Also arrived on time. Houston is a pretty populous area.

Shouldn’t it be illegal for a government unions to take sides in an election? Maybe it’s time for government unions to end if they can not be impartial.

Including police unions?

along with an upcoming election where the mail will be used a lot more…may not be the best time to do so.

OK…that’s a valid argument IMO. But to say unless they receive 25 billion dollars you’re ballot won’t get delivered in timely fashion was total BS…and you know it.

I know it is anecdotal, just as your is. Just putting it out there.

In my book if federal government unions can’t keep their noses out of politics they all should be disbanded.
Want to disband the police unions go for it.
This has brought a big problem to my attention. Just sent emails to my state representatives about federal unions getting involved in politics.
Maybe it’s time to bring in the postal union heads and grilling them about how impartial their employees are. Seems to me that this poses a big problem if the unions are delivering mail in ballots.

Yes…because of COVID 19. That’s why they got 10 billion in the CV bailout package.

Want to try again?

Interesting…you may be right. Automation.

Oldandtired · 2020-08-23T17:09:04.747Z

Maybe you need to go to your local post office and find out what the problem is. Sounds like a local problem to me.
I know rural people in every country in my state and mail is getting delivered as usual.

They lied, eh? 25 billion ought to help.

Maybe they lied maybe they thought they could do it, there is no way to tell right now.

No reason to shell out 25 billion then.
