I find it hard to believe that the Postal Service didn’t see this cluster-frick coming. They are so backed up everywhere this season, it’s no wonder a package I sent on December 14th to a friend 60 miles north, still hasn’t left the distribution center (which is located to the South of my town) as of today, December 23. I literally could have walked to her house and back in this time!
So what can we do? One post I read on social media suggested buying stamps, because the only source of income for the agency is postage. I don’t think buying stamps is going to cut it. They/we need to come up with other ways to generate some income for the USPS. Net loss for last fiscal year was $9.2B. 9.2 BILLION dollars loss. How many stamps is that? That’s 16,727,272,727 stamps!
