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.”

A couple days ago I went to my neighborhood USPS. When I asked for packing peanuts the person said "I don't know what that is so probably not". Then pointed me to their packing supplies shelf which had a couple rolls of tape and some bubble wrap. I live in Seattle and it's already this bad. Any more budget cuts and it would be easier for me to backpack cross country deliver it myself

Edit: I don't understand why I'm being down voted? I've always tried to use USPS I prefer them over privatized shipping. I'm just trying to say that it's already depressingly under funded and it's hurting this much in the city I can't imagine how much it's hurting people in the country. It's about to buckle already and it's going to be toast if it sees another budget cut. I wish we could have nice things
