Congress on Tuesday passed legislation that would shore up the U.S. Postal Service and ensure six-day-a-week mail delivery, sending the bill to President Joe Biden to sign into law.
The long-fought postal overhaul has been years in the making and comes amid widespread complaints about mail service slowdowns. Many Americans became dependent on the Postal Service during the COVID-19 crisis, but officials have repeatedly warned that without congressional action it would run out of cash by 2024.
"The post office usually delivers for us, but today we're going to deliver for them," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Heck, they can't deliver on time now anyway...they lost two packages of mine sent last year with priority and registered. One finally showed back up opened and it was a bill I sent with a check and it looked like the check had been sent to the Caymans for deposit but it never made it through. I use UPS or FedEx now.
