    Archer's joke about strippers aside, there's the other problem with being a stripper - you can't wear your costume under your work clothes.  At least, not for long...

    Well, you put your costume over your 'work outfit'

    Considering the US Post Office has lost more than $1.2 billion in each of the last two months, a large price increase of some kind was somewhat inevitable...even if the president and his cronies weren't screwing around with the Post Office due to the election.  

     

    Frankly, I'd rather have increased prices on package delivery and bulk mail than on first class mail (just a personal preference).

     

    And I think it's inevitable that mail delivery will be scaled back to 5 days a week rather than 6 days a week sometime within the next couple of years, regardless of who becomes president. That change has  been making more and more sense for the last couple of decades. The time to bite the bullet and actually do it is not very long after the November election. 

    5 days a week mail delivery, that would work

    Post Offices, mail sorting and mail transport between centers should not stop on Friday at 5pm and how some people mess things up...

    Postal Service is also removing boxes and offices in Montana: ATC interviewed Montana Senator Jon Tester (D) about it, and he's not happy. The reason given is that these branches handle so little mail they aren't profitable. Sen. Tester points out that that they are also necessary for the lives of many Montanans, and that the Postal Service is not a for-profit company.

     

    Even more sinister, the Postal Service has removed hundreds of sorting machines around the country, which will slow mail delivery, thus ensuring that mail-in ballots arrive too late.

    and the call not to use the USPS?

    My wife is a teacher.  Trust me when I say that a lot of teachers, many of whom fall into an at-risk category, are not hating online learning.  Next to an actual infectious disease lab or a hospital, I can't think of a worse place to be than schools or daycare centers.

    I would rate the infectious disease lab safer then the schools as long as you are not a test subject.
