40. Trmp's Postmaster General, DeJoyless, removed most drop boxes around the country in Trmp's 1st term.

All the drop boxes in our area, including the drive-by boxes right in front of the PO, were removed. We were told it was "for security reasons". (Never believe a Republican using the word "security" -- it's almost always camouflage for something nefarious.) I haven't seen a USPS drop box anywhere in our area since then.

Interesting that we have security cameras on just about every building and parking lot, but they couldn't keep an eye on the mailboxes. Just a sign saying "you're on camera" might have done it -- instead they used it as excuse to remove all the boxes.
