Rick Wallace, 77, voted for Trump and supports his cost-cutting agenda, to a point.
“There are government programs that I’d like to see discontinued or cut back, especially those that don’t affect me,” said the retired Scottsbluff firefighter. “But the ones like the Postal Service, yes, we count on them.”
I think the postal inspectors have their hands full at the moment. In my neck of the woods people are robbing mail carriers for their mailbox keys. It’s not a great time to work for the USPS, it used to be though
The republicans have been trying to starve USPS for years because they want to privatize it, just like everything else.
Which is perfectly congruent with their ignorant jackassery given that USPS delivers magnitudes more mail than UPS and Fedex and DHL. The private alternatives are vocally upfront that they could never cover the slack, should USPS cease to exist.
Not one Republican ever argues a point in good faith.
Exact same thing in my area. Maybe we are neighbors.
