There is some serious discontent in my neighborhood surrounding the USPS, which I find pretty funny, mostly because the folks who seem to do the most complaining on our neighborhood FB page are diehard Republicans. And a more efficient, less wasteful USPS seems like it is exactly in-line with conservative principles.
Principles. Shminciples.
Principles don't matter when it concerns MY mail, I guess.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not loving things books taking a much longer time to arrive.
Still, not getting things instantaneously is a good reminder to me of how spoiled we've all become by modern life.
It's not a bad thing to have to wait.
I mean, hasn't this been what every parent since the beginning of time has been saying to their children?
Doesn't delaying gratification build character?
There is much I don't love about COVID-life, but it's not such a bad thing for my children to have to remember to write down on a list what they want me to order from the grocery and then have to wait for the next time I pick up groceries.
It's not a bad thing that my children aren't being able to do exactly whatever they want to do whenever they want to do it.
I wish many of the adults would get a handle on themselves and be reminded that they, too, can learn to manage their disappointment.

Count me in the "save the USPS" group.
As for all the complaining... actually, I won't go there.
Republican and could care less about the mail. Maybe they’re looking for their next check of financial report.
