As it’s been almost 30 days, I called customer service at at a company to check on the status of a refund. I was told that the USPS had withheld delivering their packages for a couple of weeks, hence, there’s a backlog. Because of this, the company was switching to FedEx.
Of course, I have felt upset and anxious over the plethora of injustices, demise of democracy, and oligarchy from republicans in power. What’s really disturbing to me, though, is the torpedoing of our postal service, such a long-standing, important institution.
I’ve heard that if many of us purchase rolls and sheets of stamps, we can bail it out. Although this certainly does not address all the mail sorting machines that were ordered to be and have been destroyed ostensibly to influence the upcoming election results, I will buy more sheets of butterfly and possibly Ruth Asawa forever stamps. I realize, however, that “forever” is an interesting concept .
