Rotting food, dying animals at post office "armageddon"

[Takket]

I'm still dumbfounded that this institution has stood for almost 250 years and one PMG is just allowed to sabotage it and apparently no one can do anything about it.......

Six weeks ago, U.S. Postal Service workers in the high desert town of Tehachapi, Calif., began to notice crates of mail sitting in the post office in the early morning that should have been shipped out for delivery the night before.

At a mail processing facility in Santa Clarita in July, workers discovered that their automated sorting machines had been disabled and padlocked.

And inside a massive mail-sorting facility in South Los Angeles, workers fell so far behind processing packages that by early August, gnats and rodents were swarming around containers of rotted fruit and meat, and baby chicks were dead inside their boxes.

Accounts of conditions from employees at California mail facilities provide a glimpse of what some say are the consequences of widespread cutbacks in staffing and equipment recently imposed by the postal service.

Once people get the full scope of this stunt by greedy, self-absorbed Donny and his henchmen, that should further damage his shitty campaign...

5. Cure.

We could stop this in 10 days or less.

Put every member of the Postal Board of Governors & DeJoy in a cell.

Every time a veteran, animal, or anything else dies or suffers, is another day you don't get food or water.

PLAY BY THEIR RULES!
