It's beyond ridiculous. I dunno how it isn't a constant ongoing scandal.
Auspost has been gutted, the workers are on fucked contracts through parasitic outsourcing, it takes three different fucking people to deliver mail to my small town street and they all seem exhausted.
It seems like a complete coin toss every time I order something, whether it will take a couple of days to arrive or get stuck at a sorting facility for weeks or even months.
I've had things delivered that bounced around the country like a fucking pinball only to end right back at the first fucking post office the thing was sent from and then off it goes again. It's absurd.
Did I ever tell you about the one time a parcel tracking showed the parcel was one Street over and then the next day it was sent to a state on the opposite side of the country?
I would go postal. I just don't know where to direct the fury lol.
Have a horrorcore rap song about the fucking mail. (CW: horrorcore rap / talkin bout killing the mailman, basically anti-worker reactionary shit)

edit: of course, we do not blame the workers doing the fucking work. System's fucked.
