How many people got mail today?

How many people got mail yesterday?

The number of people convincing themselves (and others) that the post office is going to collapse is scary...

[sarcasmo]

1. No mail today. One day this week a few catalogs, very little junk mail so far this month.

[a kennedy]

2. We didn't, at least not yet.......I checked once and, nothing......

haven’t been back, we gotta walk to our mailbox. Will check tomorrow early.

[wryter2000]

3. I did

So far, so good in Oakland. We'll see if it keeps up

[napi21]

4. I get mail every day. Sometimes it's only one piece but always something. n/t

[Hoyt]

5. Got it today, yesterday, etc. On time. We are going nuts, and imagining

stuff that’s not happening, only COULD happen.

I’m requesting my ballot early and mailing it if I can find — and figure out how to operate — a drop box. (A Washington Post article today basically said people are too stupid to fin and figure out how to use a drop box.)

6. I got mail at home

and at my business. Mail is slow however.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. We got mail today, and it's very rare that we don't get any.

One day, we had TWO mail deliveries. Not sure what was going on there.

[Luciferous]

8. No mail issues here.

[unblock]

9. I got 3 items today. I typically get closer to 10.

I'm still receiving first class mail like normal, but the junk mail has dropped off precipitously.

[SheltieLover]

10. Mail good here

👍

[tavernier]

11. Yup, in fact

I got my card from my Supervisor of Elections stating that they received my request for a vote by mail ballot, which I requested online about five days ago.

[SunSeeker]

12. I did. Every day this week but Sunday.

I live in Southern California, not sure if that is relevant.

[OrwellwasRight]

14. Me too.

I get mail every day -- once in a while I'll get nothing, but, on average I get mail 11 of every 12 days (I don't count Sundays because there is no delivery on Sundays).

[2naSalit]

13. I don't go to the mailbox every day so...

I don't usually know which day anything arrives.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. I did, though none yesterday.

But that's not altogether unusual, since most of what I get is just ads. I haven't noticed a slowdown, and the primary ballot I mailed in on Friday was noted as accepted on the 4th. However, I'll hand-deliver my GE ballot just to be on the safe side.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. Saw the mailman making deliveries on my street earlier.

I didn't get anything today, but others obviously did.

[MichMan]

17. My friend is a letter carrier and has been working lots of overtime

says absenteeism due to people not wanting to work because of the virus is making overtime required for those working

18. Ignore your lying eyes:

[Calista241]

19. I haven't seen a drop in my mail.

I got 5 fucking pieces of junk mail today. No, I’m not signing up for a capital one card. You’d think they’d know it’s a lost cause at this point.

[Poiuyt]

20. We did, but it was very late

Delivery didn't come until about 6:30PM. Normally we get it at about 11:30AM

[Awsi Dooger]

22. I did not

It's every other day now, so I knew the rotation and Friday followed form

[Brother Buzz]

23. I only received junk mail today

Adjusting my foil cap, "This is just the first phase of the diabolical plan".

24. The changes are being TESTED at only 200 locations, not everywhere

25. Thank you for your concern.

The immediate problem with the Post Office is that because of CV19 the nation is looking at a preponderance of mail in voting. Concurrent to the impending mail in election, Trump has installed a political lackey as Post Master General. Th appointed individual is in experienced, Trumply partisan, and is not committed to the Postal Service as set out in the Constitution and the lifelong expectations of most Americans.

A systematic problem is that the Post Office has been hobbled by the requirement to pre-fund retirement of employees for 75 years (check me if specifically wrong) and other policies taken to weaken the institution. Why? So as the functions of the Post Office can be privatized, a long term goal of those with the aim to extract personal wealth from the public commons.

The US Post Office is the most at risk of any time in its existence and is specifically important to the impending Fall election.

26. Did not Thursday or Friday.

[Mike 03]

27. I haven't received a piece of mail since Tuesday. Not even junk mail.

Not even the Wednesday Safeway ad circular I usually get on Wednesdays. Could it be a coincidence? Maybe. Some mathematically-inclined DUer could possibly figure out the odds of that. (The mail hasn't come yet today, it's only nine AM here).

28. Detroit area, not noticing any slow-down.

I got a few catalogs, and a few solicitations for charitable donations. A normal mail day.
