1. About 2 weeks ago I went to the local post office
Tue Oct 7, 2025, 02:45 AM
Tuesday

at about 4:30 in the afternoon, they close at 5pm. I attempted to drop 4 postage-paid parcels in the parcel chute but to no avail. The clerk at the desk told me I should take them to another post office across town in a different city. I was told, they lack the equipment to process the mail for that day. I have never experienced that before. I told the clerk, I needed the dated postmark on those packages and I was leaving them because I wouldn't make it by closing to the other location. I got a shrug and was directed to leave them on the counter.
I didn't blame the clerk or anybody else at the facility. I blamed DeJoy and DOGE and the Administration for ruining a system that worked and you could always count on.

That a-hole Felon breaks everything he touches including the morale of people that made the USPS the dependable institution it was. What a damn shame.
