Postal customers say they’re fed up with backlog of mail sitting in Springfield’s post office
I guess it’s not just me wondering about whether we’ve reached the “then quickly” part of the death of the USPS.
The reporters reached out to the Springfield post office where a man’s drugs-by-mail sat unmoved for days, and their response echoed that of the Postmaster General:
I only reiterate these problems because post offices have been a hallmark of a growing functional country. I mean, one of the only good things to come out of the Qin Shi Huang dynasty in China was a post office, and Benjamin Franklin was the first Postmaster General of the United States over two hundred years ago. A government organization which cannot do its function but instead does oh, so many other things of lesser value is really a fin de siècle symptom.
