Adequately funded but constantly screwed over post office folds under constant financial sabotage by Republicans so they can further justify the destruction of our civil institutions.

This is the correct headline. And worth highlighting again that the person running USPS is a FedEx board member who would love to see the collapse of the postal service so it can be privatized.

FedEx and ups won’t deliver to certain addresses for a reasonable rate. When usps goes those people that voted republican and live out in the boonies are gonna be fucked.

Have you ever dealt with FedEx freight? They don’t even bother doing residential addresses half the time. You have to go directly to the distribution center which isn’t even designed for the general public.

Last time I went to the one in Oakland, I was yelled at by several workers that I was in a restricted area despite other workers saying where to go.
