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.

It's the quiet competence. I like it in my own work life and find it a better way to operate, my work speaks for itself. However, I'm not sure if it's an effective strategy for a president, party and reelection.
He needs a hype-person. Or maybe us, we need to talk more about his accomplishments.

@whateva_0331 @MJ @TonyStark too often, the important stuff doesn't seem flashy enough.

This puts way too much incentive in front of politicians to do flashy but useless things instead of boring but important things.

I don't know how we fix that.
