"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." But what about Postmaster General Louis DeJoy? This month, DeJoy will begin implementing a plan that will fundamentally alter the core mission of the United States Postal Service (USPS) — the rapid delivery of first-class mail. Many of the letters, bills, small parcels, and other documents sent through first-class mail will take much longer to arrive at their destination.
DeJoy has certainly cost me money in credit card charges because I used on-line banking. The banks send the checks via first class mail and suddenly my payments are late. And when you use a credit card for substantially most of your money transactions, you can have a large bill. This results in the credit card company charging interest for the entire month, not for just the one or two days it was late. This is all aggravated by the fact that the bill takes longer to get to me. I wanted the actual bill sent because emails can get lost in the unbelievable volume of emails I get on a daily basis. When discussing this with my creditors, I was told that this has happened to many people. Does DeJoy have stock in credit card/banks? 😊😡
By sitting idly while the USPS deteriorates at the hands of Trumpists hired to gut it, the Dems are standing on norms that were shredded decades ago by the GQP and enabling the destruction.
Government capabilities deteriorate, playing into the hands of the GQP even with the Dem majority.
Wake up: it's asymmetrical warfare and the Dems are playing the losing strategy.
Did the GQP stand on norms or ethics when it replaced and sidelined thousands of core government admins or scientists? Read Michael Lewis' "Fifth Risk" to see how USDA, EPA, et al were hollowed out by going against the "norms" that the Dems follow.
The GQP flipped the USPS into this state by playing a different game.
It takes lighting one match to burn down a house that will take years to rebuild
While the GQP spent four years shredding our government capabilities, The Dems sat watching the ematches get lit and the buildings burn while talking about what tools they should use to rebuild it after the fire burnt it to the ground.
Now they are still waiting for it to change by itself... and the PO deteriates further under Biden.
I despise DeJoy. He is a competitor through UPS. He should never have led the USPS. What a snively little weasel he is. Biden needs to hop on this. So much needs to be done before 2022 elections.
DeJoy's goal is pretty simple. Strangling the USPS in a general sense is almost beside the point. The idea is to ultimately hurt the mail-in voting employed by many "Blue States" and Democratic voters in general. This follows the clear Republican motto of "If you can't beat 'em, change/game the system so you can."
Judd, I just forwarded this to a friend and compared it to good lobbying in that you do a deep dive, provide sourcing, and deliver to legislatures, other media platforms - and all of us - the details that we can trust and take action on. Thank you!
❤️❤️ cue Tina singing “simply the best” (OF COURSE she was talking about investigative reporting, what else could she possibly have meant?)❤️❤️ —I’ll post this on my Twitter feed, which reaches all 63 of my followers in a nanosecond, though it’s distressing to know a printout will now take even longer to reach family/friends/Congresspeople/influencers like me who still read their snail mail.
Also sucks that the glut of catalogues and junk mail, like the light from a dead star, will barely slow its already-commenced journey to my mailbox, but refund checks, shutoff notices & other time sensitive first class mail will be delayed. All so a few lucky truckers can add USPS packages to their loads? (And won’t that decrease the competitive advantage of other, truly private trucking enterprises, and result in a loss of federal corporate income tax base? Proving conclusively that capitalist Republicans, once elected, “eat their young”?)
Our government is a complete joke. Trump is effectively crippling the Post Office with a trump loyalist, and there's nothing anyone can do about it? Make up reasons to fire these trump board appointees. Who cares if it's legit or not? Tie it up in the courts while Biden appoints someone new to fix the Post Office. Trump was able to do it when he was president but now that the democrats have all the 'power' they don't want to play a little dirty? This is such a pathetic situation we are watching unfold. Purposely trying to slow down the mail under the guise of 'cost-cutting measures' when everyone with eyeballs can see what's really going on. Pardon my cursing but: What the hell?!?!
Relying on more trucks? At a time when the trucking industry doesn't have enough drivers?
Louis DeJoy needs to go, and the sooner the Biden administration can legally effect that, the better.

The Dems have the playbook for losing down pat!
