May 7

by the time they get this passed, the Republicans will have already destroyed the USPS at the rate they are going......

Just wait until a private company takes over.........a first class letter, delivered, will cost 15.00, and packages will go sky high.
Rural America will get screwed the worse, because FedEx and UPS won't be able to dump them on the USPS for Last Mile Delivery like they have been doing for quite some time.....

Of course, the Trumphumping Voters in Rural America will pretend that that is just fine......

The only consolation that WE can have, is knowing that all the MAGA Trumphumping Voters will get creamed at least as bad as WE all do......ESPECIALLY the Rural masses.......
