Rick Wallace, 77, voted for Trump and supports his cost-cutting agenda, to a point.

“There are government programs that I’d like to see discontinued or cut back, especially those that don’t affect me,” said the retired Scottsbluff firefighter. “But the ones like the Postal Service, yes, we count on them.”

Where I grew up they had these outdoor lock boxes where everyone had a slot with their own key and then there were a couple larger spots where they could put packages and then put that key in your mail slot. Postal worker just opens the whole front face and loads the mail for like 50 people. They put them at the beggining of the road out so people could stop and check their mail on their way in/out. Seems like a great solution for rural areas.

We have the same thing in urban and suburban areas, like apartments, condos, subdivisions. People end up stealing the master keys from the postal carriers. It’s fucked up.

That's exactly what we have in the neighborhood where my camp is. I don't have one because I don't have an address. :(
