As to the sorting machines, they are ancient technology with multiple mechanical parts prone to breakdown. New digital sorters are being installed as funds allow. As to mailboxes, we all know now that many were simply being replaced with new boxes and others were being removed because their use was below the base standards set by USPS. Anyone who gets mail can also PUT mail there to be delivered elsewhere.

This whole Kabuki Theatre issue of some nefarious goings on is, as Shakespeare put it, "A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".

A favorite poster of mine asked this wuestion awhile back, and to this point, lots of words, but no response to WHY NOW on the surface, if what is being said is true, this might be the worst possible time to create dissension at USPS, and to bring in someone with zero qualifications.

Why not last year...pre pandemic....why not anytime but now....WHY NOW
