A long time ago, I co-owned a business. We didn’t make it; the place closed and ceased to exist as an entity >20 years ago. Suddenly I’ve started getting postal junk mail addressed to that business. 🤷‍♂️

My dad, gone more than 3 years now, gets life insurance offers at least monthly.

Boggles my mind the amount of money being wasted in direct #mail #advertising. I love the #USPS and I know junk mail is a big part of their revenue stream, I just wish companies would clean up their mailing lists.

Oregon Voters!

If you have not already mailed your ballot, best bet is to deliver it to an official drop box.

#USPS has done it again. I live in Ferndale, which is as west as you can get in the continental US.

Ordered something on Ebay that shipped from Louisiana, and was supposed to be here last Wednesday.

It made it as far west as Phoenix, AZ and then disappeared for a few days. Now it showed up in New York.

This is like the fourth time I've had this happen. Dejoy absolutely destroyed the reliability of the USPS which of course was the GOP plan all along so they could make their case for privatizing it.
