My neighborhood post office looks like a ghost town. Patronage is at an all time low

and residents are using alternatives for mailing packages. There are no lines and workers seem to have decreased substantially. I guess Dejoy has destroyed it.

If I pay for priority mail, I expect it to get there rather quickly. Used to be 2 days. Now it’s up to 2 weeks, and sometimes longer or never. They are taking routes way out of the way of where they should be going. Yes, Dejoy destroyed it. Are we supposed to keep putting our packages at risk by using a broken USPS? I suspect a growing number of people would say no. It’s hard to blame them.
