Sure. But why are you cutting back postal service where the people are?

If you're gonna cut services, and remove sorting machines, shouldn't that happen in lower volume facilities?

It's probably because the excess shorting machines are in those post offices with higher population. If you go out to the post office in Charles City, IA, they might only have one machine, so any sorting that has to be done goes through that machine. If there are idled machines, it stands to reason they are located in what would have been formerly high mail volume locations where we've seen, since email, a significant drop.

There are two things going on with this postal service kerfluffle.

First, there is and has been a dispute between management and the union over issues such as overtime. These are common labor/management issues. I think all of the initial reporting of the election "issue" came from union heads. It wasn't some whistleblower in the USPS offices in Washington who came forward. It was a union fight. Give the USPS service union some credit. They are like the cop unions. They know that if they can't get what they want through negotiations, the time honored practice of going public with the dispute will probably work in their favor.

Second, there is a "conflict" between the USPS and the states. It's not a real conflict in terms of fights. It's a conflict of time. There is a finite amount of time between now and the election. In some states we're just finishing up primaries. Biden just named his VP. The states can't print ballots and get them distributed until those things are finalized. We are less than 80 days until the election, correct?

The states want and need as much time as possible to write, assemble and distribute those ballots. So a state will set deadlines and tell voters when they can start requesting them, etc...

But the postal service is saying to the states (I think rightly so), "hey, if you're going to encourage everyone to vote by mail, or if you think we're going to see a huge influx of absentee ballots because of Covid, your deadlines aren't going to work for us."

That's why the postal service is notifying the states now, so that the states can maybe work a little faster and a little harder to get the ballots done earlier, and to set new deadlines that take into account how long it will take the post office to deliver a higher volume of mail.

The problem is, the only thing people are tuned into are the screeches from the insane man in the white house, so everyone immediately assumes that a man who probably can't figure out how to change the volume on his iphone has somehow conceived a machiavellian plan to use the USPS to steal the election.

I doubt North Platte, Nebraska has a sorting machine, and they probably have very few official post boxes anywhere outside of the post office and the major grocery store in town.

You can't remove what doesn't exist.

The article I was reading has a ridiculously low number of machines in the entire US -- like 2000. They must occupy entire blocks and be limited to large cities.

It's already de facto. I'm sure she has been having her ahem needs met by someone else for years anyway.

The only reason I even believe it was consummated is Barron is a chip off the old mental block. She is a midlife crisis muscle car. A desperate attempt by a sad old gross f-ck to convince himself he's desirable.
