Yep. Welcome to "regional transportation optimization". Every single day is painful being in an RTO territory for the post office.

It's so frustrating. If I want to mail something out, it sits for over a day in the local post office. Even Priority Mail Express can no longer get something out locally overnight. If I need overnight service, I have to drive a significant distance to get to a UPS station to get something into the network.

If something mis-sorts to the wrong post office, it sits for over a day at that remote post office before it can re-enter the stream.

I have had more and more late and missorted packages that compound the late deliveries and all I want to do is cry that I can't get the mail anymore in a reasonable fashion.

It wasn’t that long ago that anything I mailed would zip through the USPS network. It’s amazing how bad it got in a short period of time.

people still fall for this Republicans “fixing” shit election after election after election, quite fascinating to watch when you don’t give a hoot who is in power

		They don't care who is in power, they just put the party in power's name as the subject in the comment. Mass social engineering 101

Looking at the map, I can't see how this isn't a good thing? Rural areas have been over-subsidized for way too long.

		Wait until you hear about the time we subsidized electrification for rural areas. Ditto public schools, roads, phones, and broadband (sorta).
