In layman's terms, they wanna move carriers to sorting facilities to cut down on cost for shipping mail to local offices. This could cause carriers who live in the towns the deliver in, like myself, to drive upwards of 45 minutes to an hour away to a sorting facility (this number is based on what my office's situation would be, could vary office to office). After clocking in and sorting our routes, we would then have to drive back that same amount of time to town to deliver, then drive that far back to return to office.

You can see the issue here, sure you're cutting on transportation costs to local offices, but you're now spending a lot more on carriers fuel in the already inefficient mail trucks to drive back and forth to their routes. We wouldn't get compensated for the milage and time going to and from the new office and it would lengthen our days because of the new drive time. That being said, if that drive time is accounted to our routes, our routes are supposed to be adjusted to 8 hours total time for normal mail volume. Now you're adding that much time, you gotta cut deliveries per route. Now you have to add more routes to compensate, which means paying more salaries to cover said routes. Sure it's good for us as carriers because routes need readjusting anyway, but is not the cost saving measure they think it is.

Edit: Another idea they've had is create regional delivery offices where 3 or more towns are in a single building, but this can cause the same issue, and in some regions it may not be possible due to the distance between offices in highly rural areas such as the Great Plains.

TLDR: will cause more problems than it solves.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

Funny that you think I can afford a house in Massachusetts right now 😂

Good advice I will try to remember for when I do have one, however

Well shit, of course I'm in the effected county. Luckily not my town yet but guess I'll have to keep an eye on this.

Stay safe, fellow Massholes

Yes, and that was actually what I wanted from them. They're open enough where I can hear through them at work without having to turn on a transparency mode. They're just my work dirty buds so I don't really care how they sound, just that they work (and they actually work better on Android than native iOS in my experience) and they take calls. Plus they're not built like cheap crap.

This is false, I'm currently visiting Brazil and haven't been murdered.

I do Active All by default, see what's popping. After i exhaust that I go by all Hot. I have a lot of communities filtered (mainly porn ones) to clean up my feed even though I also am subscribed to several communities. Lemmy is still small enough where I don't feel I need to only see my subs.

Netflix produced a movie called Hush. They made it and it was only distributed on Netflix. They removed it a while back, now the only way to watch it is to pirate it.

Only works on first and second class mail, and just be unopened. I've been doing this for years and I get maybe 1 credit card offer a month. It's now at the point where most of my mail is actually stuff I want/need and only get mail like twice a week.

Hey, Paul!

Same with mine. That was something I was looking for when I bought this car actually. I wanted physical buttons and knobs for everything that wasn't infotainment system related. The steering wheel has buttons to control things like volume and tack/station skipping as well. Even having a physical shifter was a necessity for me because these button or weird electronic shifters are a pain in my ass and can potentially be dangerous if you're unfamiliar.
