About those sorting machines — some stats for you:

It has been declared that those sorting machines will not be put back. There seem to be a lot of excuses — like this is normal. (Oh, how I miss normal.)

Anyway, I thought I would check to see how normal it is to get rid of those mail-sorting machines that we see trashed in those pictures.

Here is what I learned:

Number of Mail-Sorting Machines Removed and When:

2018 — 125

2019 — 186

2020 — 671 ordered removed — 600 done — and not coming back

Numbers of Machines Removed in Certain States:

FL: 59
TX: 58
OH: 34
PA: 30
MI: 26
NC: 15
VA: 12
WI: 12
GA: 11

That looks to me like 38% were removed from just 9 states.

Anybody see a pattern?
