    DeJoy is still there, yes? Isn’t it weird how an unelected asshat like fElon can fire employees of the government who were basically nonpartisan, not to mention dismantle agencies, as part of a fake “agency”.

    But somehow, in 4 years of the Biden administration a partisan hack like DeJoy kept his job…

        Um, I’m watching time and time again how the cons, even as a minority, were able to slow things down, demand concessions, etc., in Congress. I’m also watching how an unelected, non-government employee with no clearance and no confirmation like fElon, running a fictional agency, is able to declare that an entire REAL AGENCY is being dismantled.

        So…why couldn’t Biden fire that partisan hack? He just watched donvict break all kinds of norms for four years during his residency, like having “acting” cabinet members w/o any confirmations and then attempting a coup while stoking an insurrection, so I doubt too many people but the stupid and useless Tone Police were going to do anything about him firing DeJoy.

        Chinese packages are a net negative for the post office, you can probably find articles about that from Trump’s first term.

          The USPS was never intended to turn a profit. It’s not a business. Its entire purpose is to deliver mail to every American, regardless of where they’re located. Making that profitable was never realistic nor necessary for a government service.
