Absolutely fuck them for this if true, and as a carrier I will not comply if they start coming down and asking us if names are valid at addresses. They can walk me off the job, charge me with obstruction, I don't care.

Just another arm of the Gestapo and I hate that I'm associated with them. Time to look for a new job.

Appears it is not the entire postal service, just the inspectors.

The postal inspectors are federal police and have a lot of power.

I presume this article was posted because it doesn't have a paywall.

It's not so much an indictment of journalism as it is the average person's expectation to get stuff for free.

I'm not going to make an account and pay for a subscription to read one article I found on the internet just so I can join the conversation about the news.

Dejoy stepped down, replaced with another Fascist 47 Fellator

And Dejoy is in a prime spot to try to buy the USPS outright (which is definitely the plan).
