Postal System sabotage [View all]

I called in a refill prescription 2 weeks ago. It did not get mailed out until this Monday, a problem with my pharmacy.
The pharmacy is located less than a hundred miles from my home in Western Colorado, an hour drive.
I tracked the package and found out it was shipped to Denver and will not arrive back over here until Friday.
The "new" system is to move all mail from rural Colorado towns to main sorting center in Denver and then back out again. This holds for mail I send to a town 10 miles away.
If the corrupt AH Trump put in charge claims the USPS is losing money, it is his decision to make that so.
