Disappearing Post Office Collection Boxes

 Oh the horror of it all.  Over the last 20 years, half of all the mail collection boxes in the country have been removed.  In the last two days, we learned that this removal happened because Donald Trump wants to suppress the vote in 2020.  Amazing, isn't it, how Trump got the box removal started in 2000 just to deal with the voting by mail issue in 2020.

Sure, that's idiotic.  Even so, you'd be surprised at how many in the mainstream media and the Democrat party and their fellow travelers are saying stuff like this today.  We've also heard that removal of unneeded sorting machines over the last two years was also done to suppress the vote.  That too is idiotic.

My favorite comment today, though, came from a fellow who first said that he knew that the Post Office has to cut costs and that taking steps to cut costs would slow the delivery of some mail, but that it was intolerable that such steps have been continued during the pandemic.  After all, some people needed medicines that come by mail.  That's so dumb, it made me laugh just thinking about it.  Imagine, some person might order medicine which was expected to come in 2-4 days but only get it in 3-5 days.  If the medicine is so important, why would the person ordering it wait until the last moment to place that order?  And why does the virus make it intolerable to cut costs at the post office?
