LA MAYOR RACE: Bureaucrats Spend 40-Minute Meeting Debating Inclusive Jargon for "Mailbox" While Mail Sits Undelivered for Third Week
Oh, get a load of this, folks. Our tax dollars at work. I just sat through the livestream of our local council meeting—because apparently I have nothing better to do than watch paint dry—and they spent nearly an hour arguing over what to call a mailbox. A box. For mail. They're pushing this whole "la mayor race" inclusivity thing so hard that they've forgotten the actual post hasn't arrived in my neighborhood since before Labor Day. My neighbor’s property tax bill? Sitting in a pile somewhere. But by all means, let’s have a quorum debate the etymology of "letter receptacle" while we're all checking empty curbsides. Common sense says deliver the mail first, then you can rename the dang thing after my great-grandma if you want. Unreal.
