They ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ targeted the postal ✉️ service. ๐ The postal ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ service. ๐ We're a group ๐ฅ of people ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐จ๐จ๐ง๐ฆ who will drive for hours, days, even ๐ weeks on end ๐ performing ๐ญ some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, ๐คญ and over, ๐คฌ and over ๐คญ all for nothing ๐ฏ more ➕ than a little red ๐บ mailbox ๐ฌ๐ญ flag ๐ฑ๐ท saying ๐ฃ we ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ did. We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider ๐ค torture, because we ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ think ๐ค it's important. We'll spend most if not ๐ฏ all of our free ๐ time ๐⌚ min maxing the roads ๐ฃ of an American ๐ฝ suburb all to complete a single extra delivery per day. Many of us have ๐ถ made careers ๐ผ out ๐๐ of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same routes over ๐คฌ and over, ๐คญ hundreds ๐ฏ of times ๐ to the point ↖️ where we ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ know evety little detail such that some have ๐ถ attained such postal ✉️ worker ๐ท♀️ nirvana that they ๐ can literally drive these routes blindfolded. Do these people ๐จ๐จ๐ง๐ง have ๐ถ any idea ๐ก how many mailboxes have ๐ถ been filled, services ๐ over ๐ burdened, inequalities in access destroyed in frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights? ๐ These people ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ง๐ฆ honestly think ๐ฏ this is a battle they ๐ can win? ๐ They ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ take our media? We ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ already have ๐ถ an old ๐ต one ๐ without them. They ๐ take our jobs? ๐ผ Postal ✉️ workers ๐จ๐ผ aren't shy ๐ about making deliveries else where, or even ๐ making the routes our selves. They ๐ think ๐ฏ calling ๐ค us inefficient, old-school, ๐ด✏️ socialists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by postpubescent 50 year olds ๐ with a shitty hair ๐ cut. ๐ฅฉ They ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ picked a fight ๐ฅ against a group ๐ฅ that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it ๐ฎ as a challange when they ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ tell ๐ฃ us we ๐ฟ no ๐ longer matter. Our obsession with proving we ๐ฟ can after being told we ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ can't is so ๐ deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big UPS/FedEx and friends ๐ laughing ๐ at how pathetic we ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ used to be that proving you ๐ค๐ people ๐จ๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex. Postal ๐ฏ workers ๐จ๐ผ are ๐ competative, hard core, by nature. ๐ฆ We ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฆ love ๐ a challange. The worst thing you ๐ค๐ did in all of this was to challange us. You're not ๐ฏ special, you're not ๐ฏ original, you're not ๐ฏ the first; this is just another mailbox. ๐ซ๐ญ
