I have been silently watching all these messages, but it is time for my 2 cents worth ....
Many postal workers have gotten ill with covid, and this political appointee with HUGE investments in USPS competitors has frozen overtime and not funded the USPS to enable them to hire replacements, so personnel have been suffering and delivery times have been under pressure for awhile. The removal of sorting machines, postal boxes and the guy in the white house claiming voting mail fraud are ALL disturbing to me. For those who defend the occupant in the white house saying he did not create this pandemic, consider that many tens of thousands of real people's loved ones have died because of his "slow roll" to states, schools and health professionals denying the need of providing a coordinated federal response to ALL cities and states. Instead he plays the blame game, sends in federal troops to attack peaceful protesters and reporters, and lies like a dirty rug.
To listen to you small business owners who ship perishable items of any kind is just another example of the rich getting richer at the working man's expense. I am doing my best not to be affected by all the BS, so am not having any of my purchases shipped until this all shakes out and the weather cools. Nothing worse than a seedling or fruit arriving late and spoiled or dead.
We celebrate 100 years of women being able to vote ... please tell everyone you know to get a mail-in ballot NOW or plan to early vote in person, because voter suppression is REAL. So no matter what your political persuasion is, do not allow the politicians to take away your freedom to do your civic duty.
And now, I am off my soapbox and we return to your regularly scheduled programming.
