Knowing Boston well, Sen. Maggie Hassan is totally correct on the traffic, it is awful

[@gh00stbeard]

Consolidation is key in order to compete with UPS & FedEx.

[@ljr869]

All they deliver to me is the Pennysaver… a total waste!

[@stevep7713]

Boston is absolute traffic nightmare. Only a complete idiot would decide to move facilities into Boston from NH and think it will improve efficiency

[@chickenstick321]

What is the traffic going into Boston at 9pm - 1am? Not bad right that is when the mail would be transferred.

[@ChrisCash720]

Can't treat usps like ups and FedEx when usps must go to every house in America daily

[@TimothyHughes-u2e]

Georgia, at least around Atl susks cost me my benefits

[@kayjones6147]

Try middle Georgia. One month for a piece of mail mailed from Gray GA to Macon GA - 16 miles away. Mighty glad it wasn't someone mortgage payment, electricity bill, tax bill, etc.....

[@stephengiunta1564]

I love the Postal Service and admire the people that work there. It Is the guy they got in charge that is the problem.

[@chickenstick321]

Incorrect, you won't have a postal service in 10 years if you don't allow for the person in charge make the changes necessary.

[@servicenj448]

The USPS is like a shoe store.......Lots of Loafers.

[@stephengiunta1564]

Not to my knowledge.

[@crystalmay1162]

A very opertune time is always during an election. Didn't we have problems with the post office dropping boxes of ballets off in the dead of night 2020? Just saying...

[@stephengiunta1564]

Are you looking for a conspiracy everywhere anywhere?

[@bradj8215]

There is zero reason for the postal service to exist in 2024

[@justinstephenson9360]

I can thing of 2 reasons: junk mail and postal voting.

[@karencansler7127]

@@justinstephenson9360 agree, ban junk mail or atleast increse postage rate, and no mail-in ballots.

[@justinstephenson9360]

@@karencansler7127 nothing wrong with postal votes, they have been used for decades without any evidence of any material fraud - but of course you do not know this, because you do not research anything outside of your own bigoted bubble. If you want to ban mail in ballots then you clearly think that US military personnel serving overseas, often in times of war should not be allowed to vote because mail in ballots. So US military are good enough to protect US interest but not good enough to vote - how exactly does that work?

[@bradj8215]

@@justinstephenson9360 why is someone a bigot if they oppose mail in voting? Maybe they are just concerned about election security. Have you considered that? You have no reason to launch accusations of bigotry.

[@Iverness-l8h]

Why do you say this?
