Biden Boots Bloom From Postal Service, DeJoy's Days As Postmaster Are Numbered

[skews13]

The House Democrats finally passed Build Back Better! Can this day get better? Why yes, yes it can. Friday, President Joe Biden announced his nominees for the United States Postal Service Board of Governors, “to replace outgoing Governors Ron Bloom and John Barger.”

Yes, current board chair Ron Bloom—Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s greatest champion—will not be returning when his term is up on Dec. 8. Thank you, President Biden!

If the corruption wasn’t bad enough, there’s the destruction of the Postal Service during a pandemic—the delayed mail, the dismantling of post office infrastructure, the 10-year plan to purposely make mail delivery a lot slower and cost more—all of this. DeJoy seemingly bribed his way into the job, and Trump put him there to screw up the mail ahead of the 2020 election. DeJoy has got to go, and now it looks like his days in the office are numbered. The remaining board members are going to have to nail down anything he might be able to steal on the way out.

They are going to turn our bankrupt by the gov. post offices into friendly little neighborhood banks to get us away from private banks. Then they are going to attach our accounts to the Federal Reserve and begin deducting $ from our accounts for "green energy infringements". Watch and see...

While I do not really see things getting better, yes he needed to go.

They're getting ready for BIG fraud in the 2022 and 2024 elections. No other way President 36% has a chance.

Hope you're wrong, but probably you aren't.

Let them try it... I don't think the people are going to be fooled like they were in 2020. Hopefully Virginia was a signal of this turning back to the light.

BBB will not pass the Senate so your elation is pointless.
As to the Post Office it is an antiquated service that has no place in America today. It is a tremendous waste of money.

I have not sent a piece of mail via snail mail in probably close to a decade.

sure it does...it delivers to places were the other guys dont because it costs them money....the PO delivers a lot of their packages the so called last mile.....once again because it is not cost effective for them to do it...if you get congress and the board of governors and all the useless postal commissions out of their way and let those they pay to run the thing,run it....you might see a difference.....let them sink or swim on their own.....

DeJoy was unique. Previous postmasters focused on cost cutting from a personnel standpoint, the "lean and mean" sort of strategy, but left in place the actual logistics of how the mail moved, to the long term professionals.

DeJoy was different. He ran a logistics firm, and is heavily invested in the trucking indudstry. And for the first time ever, shifted the post office from flying the mail cost to coast, to trucking it there. Adding at least two more days to an already show service "aka snail mail".

like i said....most PMG's know squat about how to move the mail.....he is told to cut costs....so he cuts it without regards to its effect on the mail flow....a PMG who worked his/her way up the ladder in the PO at least knows you dont fuck with the mail flow,you fuck with something else.....like carrier starting times....

I agree. DeJoy was messing with the very fundamentals of how the mail got moved. He dismantled over 700 high speed letter sorting machines. Told trucks to leave on time, even if it meant leaving empty, with the mail still sitting on the loading dock. And now he's eliminating moving first class mail by air, and instead to drive it coast to coast.

It's like he's trying to sabotage the post office. Making it slower, and costing more.

you know no station would leave the mail on the back dock and tell the trucker to go....getting yelled at or getting a letter of warning once in a while doesnt have much effect in the PO....the supervisor is going to get shit either way....so he would tell the trucker...take that mail....

Yes mailboxes were removed under Obama, but they were removed because first class mail volume was dropping. Fewer letters, meant fewer mail boxes needed, which makes sense. BUT ... DeJoy was removing mail boxes based on the drop in mail volume due to COVID, which like the oil production situation, usage plummeted at the beginning of the year. The difference is that everybody knew the mail in ballots for the 2020 election would mean the post office would become central in the election. One letter to apply for an absentee ballot, another letter to send the ballot out, and another to return the ballots to the election boards. So for every mail in ballot it actually required two to three letters to be mailed.

With that anticipated flood of hundreds of millions of additional mail pieces, it was a bad time to remove mailboxes.
