Louis DeJoy plans to slash 50,000 USPS jobs.

Why in the world does Trump's postmaster general still have his job?

And how is this not a massive national scandal?

Biden replaced 3 of the Governors in '21, and 2 last year. The votes are there.

This year, some of our neighborhoods had mail delivery drop back to as seldom as twice a week. That's WRONG!

Somethings happening here we are not privy to. The USPS has been set up to fail. Screw DeJoy, and pressure Biden to pressure the BOG, and hold the House W&M Committee to its oversight role!!!

EDIT!! follow this thread down. Brenda identifies the fly in the ointment.

Of course. DeJoy intentionally wants it to fail because he's invested in would be "private" solutions that would replace it.

DeJoy is the transparent part. Why this administration is letting him continue is opaque.

@skydog @rbreich Biden did in fact do this. but 2 of the 3 governors he appointed support Dejoy. Bc Biden is unbelievably incompetent.

@benda @rbreich

Any details on that? Which governors? I'm seriously interested, and want to look at their c.v.s

@skydog @rbreich actually I was incorrect.
Biden nominated FIVE of the current members.

I know that. What I'm asking is, which of those 5 are keeping DeJoy in? Obviously, any Trump appointee will favor DeJoy. Which Biden appointees are aiding and abetting? That's who we have to highlight, if a pressure campaign is to be attempted. Reward the righteous, and punish the sinners, right?

@skydog @rbreich of his Democratic appointees (one is Republican and one is independent, both part of the problem) Dan Tangherlini and Anton Hajjar are the straw that broke this camel's back. Hajjar will sometimes be portrayed as anti Dejoy but he only opposes some specifics and otherwise is in support of the austerity program being put in place.
noteworthy, Hajjar was former union official. which goes to show unions are not enough.
we need good unions with good leadership.

Thank you. Excellent summation. I'm going to file that info.

I was a minor union official, at one point. I'm well acquainted with officials selling out.

@skydog @rbreich ah nice to meet you sir.
the problem with unions is only that it is, within this system, another corporation. if it falls in the wrong hands... well you already know.
nice talking to you. someone else here threw a fit because they seem to think trump being more incompetent makes Biden the son of God. and then he blocked me, because he probably couldn't defend his half witted argument.
