My mailman refuses to take my stamped envelopes out of my mailbox. Can't be bothered.

I’ve lived at my current address for about five years. The first year, zero issues. Starting at around the 2020 election, service dropped off precipitously, to the point where I’ve had a piece of outgoing mail in my box since Friday. I can’t trust the mail with anything time sensitive any longer.

I blame this on Louis DeJoy, who was appointed Postmaster General in May 2020, and has numerous conflicts of interest.

It’s hard to make government services efficient when you have people in power who want to prove that government services are always bad.
The DMVs in many states have been inefficient for decades. As has the VA.

Most inefficiency is completely non-partisan.

Count your self lucky he is not stealing your packages.
