No postal guy is going to enjoy opening 12 mailboxes to find only 5 letters. They need to centralized to one mailbox for now, until there is an overflow or once surge begins (voting), i'm sure it'll all open up. Two sides of the story.
No difference than closing 1/2 the restaurant when it can seat 200 people, but you're only opening seating for pick up for covid.

They are not just being locked up but are bring removed from current locations. You can see in this picture that the mailboxes are old and have been used for years.

Harper was never really that bad, but he had overstayed his welcome. Trudeau is not good but I 1000% prefer Trudeau to Trump. Even Trudeau’s corruption and ethics violations are child’s play compared to Trump’s.

Just because you throw a few names out there doesn't disprove any facts about the video. Good attempt to try to change the topic. Enjoy paying for your spying prison.

Everytime one of you "canada is so much better than the usa" tards come along all I have to do is remind them how many things and brands they couldn't buy if it wern't for those dumb americans.

So America is better than Canada because they have more brands based there?
Maybe it's just me but if that's the metric you're using you're *really* grasping at straws.

We have a functional postal system. We don't have a hired goon with zero qualification perched into the top spot so they can dismantle the system from within, all so the great president can "discredit" the postal system. Its really bonkers.
I just can't wrap my head around people that honestly still believe "Make America Great Again", and point to all the shit in the states and still support their leader. Its like, but... the shit you're pointing at is all in large part a failure of the very leader that is promising to making it great.. ARGHHH

Obama and Biden removed 14,000 mailboxes between 2011-2016.
The news may be fake. But TDS is real. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...-and-deceptive

Michelle Obama's speech at the DNC last night was a powerful condemnation of Trump. Well said, Michelle!
My American aunt, uncle, and cousins living in California and Arizona cannot wait to vote for the Democrats in advance poll. Whatever it takes to get those mail-in votes in time for the election.
#DUMPTRUMP #VOTE https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/18/polit...ech/index.html
The 18-minute address represented one of the most effective moral arguments against Trump's presidency from a prominent Democrat -- and came with a stark warning from the former first lady. "If you take one thing from my words tonight, it is this: if you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don't make a change in this election. If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it," she said in a pre-taped address. "Let me be as honest and clear as I possibly can. Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country," the former first lady said, faulting the President for downplaying the virus, stoking racial tensions, separating families at the border and exhibiting almost no empathy for the grief and loss that so many Americans have experienced.
"He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us," she said, before invoking Trump's callous response when asked about lives lost from coronavirus in this country: "It is what it is."

A scathing analysis from a former Trump DHS official: https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/17/polit...rse/index.html
An earlier poster is correct, if Trump steals this election, the riots and destruction will make the George Floyd protests look like a campfire.
I really think we need to start discussing what happens going forward, even if Biden wins, his presidency will be full of issues with the Republican obstruction, and the overall damage done to the public's confidence in their government.
I've said this before, without an entire revamp of the constitution, I can't see this test trial of democracy working any longer. It's plainly obvious at this point that it simply no longer works, there will never be a "normalcy" again, Biden should even know that. The constitution simply wasn't designed for how the country is now structured, along with its political polarization. Biden winning may delay the inevitable for a few years, but the time has come for a real discussion on the future of the US, and what it will look like 20 years from now.

Postal worker union members say mailboxes have been removed from locations in the Bronx and mail is piling up as well. At stake, critics fear that mail-in ballots may not arrive in time to be counted in the upcoming election.
