15. My mail has been getting later and later
and now it doesn't arrive until an hour after dark. I suspect the USPS has been laying off by attrition lately and increasing the sizes of all the routes.

Unions call it a speedup, one person trying to do the work of two as the line speeds up. Only under a GOP administration can they get away with it.

Now they have too few hands to do to much work. Cutting back to business days seems reasonable, although it's going to make the weekends long for some folks who are waiting for checks.

Eventually, I expect every other day residential "service."

And I'm old enough to remember two deliveries a day.
