    Well, of course. The worse the post office performs, the more money DeJoy makes.

      But why isn’t Biden doing anything. He apparently chose not to appoint new board members that could have removed Dejoy.

        He wanted to appear impartial and so left a lot of Trump appointees in place when they should have been removed.

          I hope that’s not the reason, I’d prefer he was serving some corporate interests than for our president to be that stupid.

          Ah, the classic move of taking the moral high road and allowing an entire nation’s vital services to be destroyed for profit by people with no sense of morality.

    Here we go again just like in 2020. Trumps lackey at the post office is out to screw things up.

    Mail is almost entirely junk mail now. I would love for their junk to get delayed indefinitely.

      There are plenty of packages still going through the USPS system. Plus, it’s how lots of people get their medicine, where delays can really cause severe and unnecessary problems. I would rather get all my prescriptions at the pharmacy two blocks down the street from me that usually has my refills ready in under 30 minutes, but my insurance won’t cover any medicines I need to take long-term unless I have them switched to 90-day prescriptions filled by CVS’ mail-order service, for “my convenience” they tell me.

      Now, actual junk mail, sure, ban it, for all I care. But there’s a lot of legitimate mail still going out every day.

      It’s most of your Amazon packages and other useless crap you order or bills which are time-sensitive. Then they delayed due to USPS prioritizing retail over those bills, which leads to overtime pay for people since they can’t pay them on time due to Postmaster General being corrupt and incompetent.
