I don't see why they're naming it after him. Who benefits from this anyway?

I don't think this is a good idea. I mean, why change the name of the post office? It's been the same for so long, why mess with it? I don't see how this is going to make any difference in my life or anyone else's. Just seems like a waste of time and money to me.
