A small example of how the mail system is being screwed

I am old enough that I have to have an annual stool blood test to see if I need a colonoscopy.  They mailed it to me and I sent the test back right after the 4th of July.  It arrived at my health plan’s lab 20 miles from where I live over two weeks later, so the sample was unusable, and I need to do it again.

I picked another one up last week at the local clinic, with the note (from my doctor’s medical assistant) that’s pictured — that I need to (drive 15 miles round trip to) bring it back in person to the clinic’s lab because the mail is too unreliable.  [Sorry I had to use an old receipt to block my name out.]

Screwing up the vote may be a feature, not a bug, but they really want to slow everything important down to drive the value of the Post Office down.  Then a Trump crony can snap it up for 10 cents on the dollar, freeze the workers’ pensions, raise prices, cut wages, and make bezillions.  Privatization as learned from the Russians!
