ikeyPikey 30 Mar 2020 08:29:12pm	Let's consider the delivery side of the US postal system: - Letter Carriers will be called-up for reserve duty, and - Letter Carriers will be called-up for National Guard duty, and - Letter Carriers who are retired military are subject to being called-up for active service, and - Letter Carriers will be calling-in sick, and - Letter Carriers will be caring for loved ones / family members, and - Letter Carriers will be quarantined for one reason or another, and ... This systemic labor shortage can be met in a number of ways. One way would be to hire temp workers, shovel-out the over-time, etc. Another would be to cut the number of hours required to deliver the mail: - Letter Carrier schedules change to 3x 12-hour days each week, and - Odd-numbered zip codes get delivery on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and - Even-numbered zip codes get delivery on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

It was just a letter from Virginia DOT to acknowledge access to our property to survey for plants (new road planned nearby), Login to Like this post "Stamp Collecting is a many splendored thing"
