USPS Delays?

The Hill has a weepy tale of a Texas man not getting his medicine because of 

In an interview ... said he hoped to receive his medication Monday and noted that he had never experienced an inability to receive the drugs from the post office if he was in possession of a tracking number. "There have been a few times in which it’s taken a week, week and a half, two weeks, but this is the first time I actually ran out and checking with the post office didn't do much good, even though I had a tracking number on it,” ... Because of the delays, ...he has gone without the medicine for a week and has had to rely on over-the-counter solutions from local drugstores. The Postal Service blamed delays on the coronavirus pandemic as well as years-old financial problems in a lengthy statement obtained by the news station.

Well here in New Jersey you can track your package. It gets to the Post Office, it is Out for Delivery, then back to the PO and you must retrieve it.  This is not a virus problem, it is not an equipment problem, it is a problem of management and human gross negligence. The Carriers REFUSE to deliver. The last mile is the weakest link. I suspect the Hill tale above was configured to tell a tale they wanted to tell. In reality, truth be told, you have a grossly incompetent Government organization playing with people's lives to get a few more dollars. 

Now that we can track things, through Amazon, USPS etc we can see what is really happening. Namely we have people who get paid by the taxpayers and refuse to do their job.

Think Medicare for All!
