USPS Worker Expresses Why We Should Save Post Office

COVID-19 hit the United States harshly with the confirmed cases in the country topping the charts. According to the data provided by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU), as of April 13, there are 557 590 confirmed cases in the US along with 22 109 deaths. With so many cases and a staggering amount of casualties, it’s small wonder that the lives of millions of people are affected all across the country. As unemployment rates go up and essential workers being put to risk every single day, thousands of businesses are either on the verge of a crisis or are already going out of business.

With the rapid spread of COVID-19, the United States Postal Service is experiencing some of the hardest financial times ever. And President Trump’s administration rejecting bailout for U.S. Postal Service definitely made some employees feel panicked. But just as millions of essential workers who’ve gone on strike in the US, some USPS employees decided to use their voices and reach the public.

One of them is Dingus J. McGee, who recently started a powerful Twitter thread advocating for everyone to pay attention and help out the USPS. His arguments not only touched the political and economical side of the story, but also were directed at a more sensitive, emotional side.
