Canada is eliminating individual mail delivery nationwide in favor of those blocks of mailboxes at the end of the street

actually this got cancelled as soon as the conservatives were ousted.

not just cancelled either, Canada post purposely waited until the election before doing anything with the plan and as soon as the conservatives were kicked they were like "lol yeah we're so not doing that, later shitlords"

it was basically insubordination by a massive government organisation against its own leaders and I am so loving hard right now

I had to argue with the post office because a new driver thought our driveway length was past the limit for actual deliveries (it wasn't) and they had a delay last year when the roof collapsed but i like them overall. Kinda pissed that 2 day shipping from amazon uses ups exclusively, I was getting next day shipping at super saver rates before

we got one of the boxes installed across from our house and they still put mail in it, dont know how much longer that'll last for.

morning

morning, poo poo myself there

whats this

nothing

"we called at 9:10am" thats just now "with a parcel, but you werent in. please collect it at the depot"

what parcel?

the one you have to collect

and why do I have to collect it?

because youre not in

well.. I am in. can I take a wild guess at what happened here, chris?

yes

its easier for you to fill out these cards than actually do your job and deliver parcels

yes

now ive got to move my old rear end down to the depot because youre a lazy bastard

yes, we pretend that youre not in because it saves us carrying the parcels all the way up here

*squirts postman in sauce*

oh, whos done that to you? Not me, because im not in! listen here, its my birthday today - many happy returns - thanks very much. You bring the parcel to me at the clansman (pub) at opening time and ill feel the need NOT to call your supervisor.

christ, what have you come as?

happy brithday victor. have you told him yet, Jack?

back off, Isa. shut up, im telling him

the usps and amtrak are both really dumb not because they are bad ideas, but because congress is schizophrenic. you cannot order a firm to provide money-losing services, then chastise its management for losing money. that is not reasonable behavior

if we want usps/amtrak to make money, don't saddle them with dumbass mandated services

if we want usps/amtrak to provide minimum levels of universal service, stop worrying about penny shavings and subsidize them with tax dollars.

you can't have it both ways

the purpose is to make the postal service look bad, get them defunded and eventually privatized because the free market knows best. that's the idea at least and why the usps retirement funding is always such a fiasco
