Began long before...

WASHINGTON — The United States Postal Service announced plans today
to transition to a new delivery schedule during the week of Aug. 5,
2013 that includes package delivery Monday through Saturday, and mail
delivery Monday through Friday.
...
Once implemented during August of 2013, mail delivery to street
addresses will occur Monday through Friday. Packages will continue to
be delivered six days per week. Mail addressed to PO Boxes will
continue to be delivered on Saturdays. Post Offices currently open on
Saturdays will remain open on Saturdays. ...
Note the dateline...

Like with virtually all other services, urban folk have no clue about
rural areas and the importance of services where there's a shortage
otherwise.

Used to go by the PO on Sunday after church to get the Sunday paper;
that went away first; now Saturday delivery is hit or miss as to whether
they put anything up or not.

Some years ago they closed all local sorting so even local mail is now
trucked to Amarillo, TX, (nearly 200 miles one way) and back again to be
distributed locally. 30 miles east and they carry it to Wichita and
back--I've not traced exactly how they now get it between the two but
wouldn't doubt it now goes to Amarillo, then to Wichita and back to
within 30 miles from whence it originated.

How any of that can possibly be cost effective boggles the mind...so
this guy isn't doing anything that wasn't already begun; he just picked
a bad time to keep on going at what were already dismantling and had
done pretty good job at before. The above actions all predate the
current administration.
