Amazon gets priority while mail gets delayed, say US letter carriers
I cannot believe with the decrease in 1st-class mail that the USPS is still running delivery trucks 6 days per week to every house.  It's a complete waste of resources.<p>They should go to 3 days per week, then cut back to 2, and maybe even just 1 per week.  Since the pandemic, I have been leaving my mail in the box and getting it Sunday night.  You know what I'm missing?  Nothing!  There may be 2-3 pieces of mail plus some junk mail, and I don't get email delivery of any bills: it's all physical mail.<p>Most people do not care if they get junk mail plus a few bills every day or once a week.  They do care if they get their Amazon packages delivered.  So to me, it's perfectly reasonable to delay 1st-class mail and prioritize, uh, "priority mail".
