I look no further than our town's own crumbling post office, in a building that's been around since the 1800s, no air or heat, sometimes no running water, moldy, damp, falling down, and certainly not secure in any way. USPS's incompetence has just ballooned to the extreme since DeJoy and it's my opinion the entire place needs a cleaning out. My old mailman has retired, and even though I had issues with him from time to time, he would deliver the mail daily with only occasional delay. Whatever we've got now cannot read or deliver more than exactly one piece of mail a day, and we're lucky to receive mail after sunset let alone at all. Mortgage went missing this month and an insured package has gone AWOL.
