Good grief. Did any of you actually read the entire article? This is a direct quote from the linked article...
"Despite the hazardous weather, the Postal Service hasn't reported any delivery suspensions in its recent updates. In fact, the agency said in its alert for Michigan that "delivery operations will not be affected."
So, the title of the article was pretty much clickbait bullshit. The mail is getting delivered, the article even says it is. Some post offices are closed (how many are closed on any given day?), and suddenly it's an indictment of all the things you don't like in society.
Yeah, if the power goes out the post office is going to close. Everything works off a computer or a card reader, so nothing's happening if the power is out. If they close the highway, nobody gets through, including the mail. I5 was closed in SoCal over the grapevine all day, that's gonna cause some delays because that's 85,000+ vehicles that didn't get through today. The article says there are "over 100 post offices" closed today. There are 31,330 post offices in the US. So .3% of the post offices in the country were closed, in the middle of winter, in the middle of a massive, multi-state blizzard. Wow. :realcrazy:
