DOGE is in my local post office [View all]

I was just speaking with my mail carrier. We are in Philadelphia PA. He said DOGE wants to cut 48 hours out of his one small post office which was understaffed to begin with. That is six people losing their jobs in South Philadelphia. And that’s happening all over the city and all over the country probably to a greater extent.
