Cooke 2,026 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The photo, which was tweeted out over the weekend, shows at least four mailboxes already in the back of a truck as a fifth one was being loaded. USPS spokesperson David Rupert told KOIN 6 News the mailboxes in the Northeast Portland neighborhood had been vandalized and were being replaced “with newer, more secure models.” Rupert said some locations that had side-by-side mailboxes were being consolidated with only one mailbox but added that “every location that had a collection box will keep a collection box.” https://www.koin.com/news/usps-responds-to-viral-photo-of-mailboxes-removed-in-portland/ Link to post Share on other sites

But its not the same thing as just randomly removing mailboxes. Some are being replaced and some are being removed if there is another one next to it. Lets stick to the truth and not just photos with no context. Link to post Share on other sites

The fact is that Trump has admitted to slowing down the post office before the election and this is literal proof. That is the truth. Link to post Share on other sites

Chairman_Meow 9 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I just don't understand this. Its not only blatantly corrupt, but its also against basic general interests of people. Its basically robbing the common goods that were established through a lot of fighting. Why are people not getting livid over this? Blows my mind. Link to post Share on other sites

It's not really something I care to research... but it's probably overblown. That's what my instincts tell me -- and it's also from experience, because every news cycle, the liberals and democrats get mad about something stupid, that's overblown, or hardly an issue. It's because they read the news media and let them do their thinking for them. Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you on many parts, specially the 'boy who cried wolf' style reporting that is so popular in north America and how tiring it is. I respect that gut feeling. But it just sucks when no one decides to pay attention when the wolfs are here and its basically one of the last public institutions able to stand on its own in America going down in flames. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
