hello america!!! did you know that there is $25 billion dollars for the usps included in the coronavirus relief package that's being held up because the dems want an additional $1trillion dollars (plus) to be included for the relief of some states that have been badly run financially---this part of the relief has nothing to do with the virus...
the second round of individual checks---$1200.00 plus---is also included in that package...
however, many of you blame the trumpster knowing damn well that it takes both chambers to pass a bill & submit it to him for his signature...
not surprising is, you also blame him for the removal of mail boxes, however, the post office has been removing those boxes from our streets for over the past 10 years---while it may seem like suspicious timing, the removal started under bush, continued under obama &, is continuing under the trumpster & yet, you all want to blame the trumpster for it---however, don't take my word for it, here's cbsnews to tell you the same thing---https://www.cbsnews.com/news/your-corner-mailbox-could-be-stamped-out/
at least here in allentown, the post office put several mailboxes outside of its 5th & hamilton st branch where you can drive up & drop off you letters without even getting out of the car...
&, there's this which probably won't make you feel any better---https://www.oann.com/postmaster-general-usps-restructuring-has-had-unintended-consequences/
this could be the way to solve the problem---https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/14/politics/usps-removes-letter-collection-boxes-reduces-post-office-operating-hours/index.html
our gov't (with our money) has been propping up the usps for eons---they seen to always have a financial problem---https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/15/postal-service-bailout-congress/
look, we can point the finger wherever we wish to but hey, we have those 3 fingers pointing back at us---the majority of us have replaced the post office with the internet---hell, which one of us doesn't go online & wish somebody a happy birthday instead of sending them a card??? & yes, there are those that do both...
modern technology is wonderful & time-saving, however, it does have its drawbacks---we get our bills online & pay them online & hey, that takes the usps entirely out of the equation---ergo, we help them remain in debt by not using them...
good people, for those that are worried about not getting their ballot in on time, fill it out & drop it off at your voting headquarters---i realize that that may be an inconvenience, however, you'll have the peace of mind knowing that your vote was turned in on time...
the other side of this problem is, by mailing in your ballot, you have no proof that your vote was counted &, i for one, am strongly in favor of voting-in-person---yes, i know, we still have this virus around us but hey, i work the polls & i have to be there from 6am until an hour or 2 after it closes...
america, fyi---we shut down our churches, schools & colleges beaches, businesses, certain gov't functions, funerals, bars, eateries &, hospital visits (etc) because of this virus & yet, blm & antifa are permitted to congregate in very large numbers---HMMM???
we should have the option of voting-in-person...
