Hey hey. Facts and data have no place here. Stop stepping in the narrative.

The Postal Service said in a statement that it "routinely moves equipment around its network as necessary to match changing mail and package volumes. Package volume is up, but mail volume continues to decline. Adapting our processing infrastructure to the current volumes will ensure more efficient, cost effective operations and better service for our customers." Still, Paul Hogrogian, national president for the National Postal Mail Handlers Union, said he does not expect the dismantling of processing equipment to have a widespread impact on mail delivery time across the country, including in election season. "A lot of the machines they are taking out ... a lot of them haven't been used in a while anyways," he said. www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/postal-service-removes-some-mail-sorting-machines-sparking-concerns-ahead-of-election/ar-BB17WcezRoutine my ass.

Greggy: USPS flashback: Obama administration removed thousands of mailboxes
 By: Ronn Blitzer Published 1 day ago President Trump has faced backlash over recent measures the U.S. Postal Service has taken to reduce service as November’s election approaches, including removing mail collection boxes from street locations. But eliminating mailboxes is nothing new and something that took place quite a bit during the Obama administration.
A pair of USPS inspector general reports provide details regarding the removal of thousands of mailboxes in the U.S., and during Obama’s second term people complained that too many mailboxes were taken away. “Nationally the number of collection boxes declined by more than 12,000 in the past five years,” an August 2016 report said. “Some customers have complained the Postal Service has gone too far and removed most collection boxes, except those at the Post Office. In addition, they have questioned whether any cost savings result from collection box removals.” The same report revealed that in a 17-month period during Obama’s second term, hundreds of mailboxes were removed without following the appropriate process, as “322 out-of-service boxes were permanently removed from the street without Eastern Area approval or public notification to customers.” MORE> www.foxnews.com/politics/postal-service-flashback-obama-admin-removed-thousands-of-mailboxes
