Post office under attack

The post office is the highest rated government agency in the US in terms of efficiency and customer service. It has been for more than a decade. Customers have received timely delivery in line with established, timed standards like clockwork for the most part driving the higher ratings.

That’s changed in a little more than a month. Since June 2020 Trump appointee (or should I say saboteur) Louis DeJoy has overseen the agency which — by the way uses zero tax dollars — and the complaints are beginning to roll in as DeJoy instructs employees NOT to deliver the mail.

It’s only July. Imagine what it’ll be like by November.

“Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told employees to leave mail behind at distribution centers if it delayed letter carriers from their routes, according to internal USPS documents obtained by The Washington Post and verified by the American Postal Workers Union and three people with knowledge of their contents, but who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid retribution.”

"If we don't provide service, we have no reason to be here."

Funny how a Federal agency that actually pays billions of dollars each year INTO the Government coffers becomes the target of Republicans whose mantra is "Run Government more like a business!"
