I'm often more cynical about institutions than you, I suspect, but must admit I had painless and seamlessly professional experiences with the NYC expedited passport office and jury duty employees over the last number of months. Guess it might come down to luck of the draw!

To be fair, I was also kind of in a bad mood when I visited the post office and looking for a fight! But, yes, it's a rare feat for me to be more cynical about institutions than you are!

Fixing the Postal Service should be one of Biden's talking points. There's enough of a groundswell to get a few more million voters out to the polls on this single issue.

Well, I guess it delivered him (!) the election last time. In terms of delivery of mail, it’s actually totally fine. But it really is startling what a depressing place a contemporary post office is.
