The postman or person is always working to deliver your mail. You see them trudging through the snow, rain, wind, and whatever comes along. They are harassed by dogs, irate citizens and a host of other problematic situations that most will never encounter. Few ever complain at the listed and unlisted problems that come along.
The last few months have changed our society, actually our entire world forever. There are a few things that have hardly changed. The postal worker's job is one of those taken for granted jobs.
There is no time that the postal worker delays his quest when humanly possible to arrive with that mail delivery. That through snow, rain and dark of night is correct. A new verse needs to be added to that oath"Through fears of death by virus pandemic or social shut down of nations."
During this shutdown of all other services, the United States Postal Service has carried on with the work of delivering packages and the mail. moving our great Nation Commerce. Those checks being sent by the government are brought to folks by the Postal Person. Postal workers are not immune to the virus sweeping the country. I have heard on the news that there have been some who have also fallen from the virus.
For such a profound sense of duty, we should all be grateful that our life has one constant in it we can still get letters and mail in the old fashioned personal touch. Some would say the post office is outdated and obsolete. I completely disagree. I still find getting a tangible card or letter to be quite nice. You can not put an E-Mail in a bird cages bottom when that car ad for the car you really didn't win arrives.
So whats this article getting to? The people in the USA are all getting checks for whatever they need. Up to $75000 or so. Many are hiding in the house under their beds only to come out to eat expnsive ice cream or use the TP they hoarded earlier this month. Postal workers are not.
The schools are closed so sitters are a mandated cost. Banks are closed except some with drive-thru windows. Mine does not even have a window. I didn't contemplate a day I would need it The stores have gone totally paranoid. The local Walmart has guards at the door allowing only one person in at a time when one person leaves.its in case ya got the plague. Monty Python"s Holy Grail
Revisited I think.
The Governor of New York has made draconian laws that have made people joke about his bladder control during conferences his decision on making his 6ft apart rule stick. I digress.
So why does the President throw fertilizer at these folks who are not to blame for the way the Postal Services are run. There is no one working behind the counter that calls the shots at the top. There's no one behind the counter or in the mailrooms that can change things. That job is definitely above their pay level MR.President.
So why throw stones at people who may just pay you back at the election in Novembers. That"s a huge workforce that is as they say, "is either fer ya or agin ya"I would ask you to reconsider your view. Postal people who have hung in there even after your Tv verbal bashing of them awhile ago.
They have been just as at risk as any other American citizen with not so much as a thank you. But with all due respect, they did get a solemn "kiss My Ass" from you, Sir...
The hard times like this are when people remember who has their back Sir
To my readers, please urge the President to include postal workers to be included in the payout. You depend on that mail to send and bring things to your step. You must think of what your life would be if that service had to stop for the months it predicts our country may shut down if reinfection happens, You can google the White House. Men in Black Have better things to do than knock on your door. It will express a point of view the president needs to hear. Considering the voices he usually hears it might be a refreshing change.
Till next time folks be kind and humble, help out where you find it most useful,
RJP
