Obligatory addition that the US Postal Service is a literal government backed monopoly that makes market competition as a mail carrier illegal, because Lysander Spooner provided a better alternative to the USPS and started to run them out of business with a more efficient business.
It's the pinnacle of a government job and delusions of entitlement.
I lost my mind when Trump was questioning the safety of mail in voting and every leftoid started acting like the USPS was our greatest achievement as a country. They were even posting shitty corporate memphis cartoons about postmen. Seinfeld was cracking jokes about how useless they were back in the early 90s but I'm guessing the ineptitude can be traced to the mid sixties.
I didn't know that about Spooner. Will have to read up. Thanks.
Mid sixties? Which century, because the American Letter Mail Company (Spooner's competing mail carrier) started in 1844, before being outlawed in 1851. Postal ineptitude is their tradition, standing well over a century in age, and closer now to two centuries. 172 years since they outlawed competition because that's how incompetent they are.
And I can highly recommend reading up about Spooner's company, as well as the man himself who helped popularise the philosophy of anarchism (the ideology that most lolberts rely upon the most but never shed their ingrained statism to fully adopt). Even if you disagree with anarchism as an ideology, it's interesting to learn about none-the-less.
My mail carrier refuses to get anything from the boxes. They'll drop off stuff. Mostly junk mail but occasionally a package. I appreciate that. But if you drop an envelope in there with a stamp and put the flag up it just stays there. I know the post office has a key, cuz it's a USPS approved post box. Other than that I'm not sure what's wrong.
So I have drive all the way to post office to mail something, which isn't far, but it seems like kind of a waste considering that the post lady drives by almost every day.
My favorite example of that is the post office and DMV. Not only are they completely incompetent, they are openly hostile.
