The USPS fleet is easily one of the best fits for EVs: Predictable routes, predictable miles, easy to schedule/coordinate charging, and constant stop and go with low speeds, which is perfect for regenerative braking (sends power back to the battery.)

This will have a positive impact on climate change, and reduce air pollution, noise pollution, and save money in the long run on fuel and maintenance.

Biden (and Podesta)- getting it done again. This is what a desire to govern and make things better can result in - progress. A willingness to cooperate and negotiate is crucial, of course.

Lots of people pushed back hard on the initial USPS plan keep things as they were. Thanks to everyone who pushed back.

When all is said and done, there was a lot more accomplished by the Biden administration the past two years than anyone could have predicted.

And it’s all things that will benefit everyone, even those who didn’t vote for him. Republicans have nothing positive to show us that they’ve lead on, yet again.

Thats the difference between leaders and despot. Biden knows that if we don't pull this ship around we all fail. There is no political gain to be had when the entire system critically tips and can't recover. Biden knows that, and seemingly cares about it.

MOST of the Republicans that are aware of it - just don't care. They aren't equipped to deal with the true failure, and most of them seem to think they can ride it out. They won't be able to. Foreign interests are already securing there positions and reinforcing their positions.

The level of interest in our country has been long and very high. We have a few pretty unique resources and we're positioned very favorably. Bribing leadership and eroding democracy is way more effective than just coming in and shooting us. I feel like Biden understands that.
