Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is systematically undermining and dismantling the USPS. If he remains in his position, he will create a crisis that leads to privatization—the longtime goal of the right. It’s time to #FireLouisDeJoy and #SaveThePostOffice.

Fire Louis DeJoy!
Removing the postmaster general is necessary to save the postal service, and Biden has the authority to begin the process.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy took charge of the United States Postal Service less than a year ago and began a process of running it into the ground. Now, he wants to accelerate that process.

If President Biden does not take the necessary steps to begin the process of removing DeJoy from his position, the postmaster general’s austerity agenda threatens to ruin the USPS at a point in its 246-year history when the service is every bit as essential as it has ever been.

The urgency of presidential action was illustrated Tuesday when DeJoy announced a 10-year “reorganization” plan for the Postal Service that would slow down delivery times for first-class mail, hike postage rates, and reduce hours for post offices. The postmaster general and his cronies tried to portray the proposed changes as a streamlining project, but The Washington Post correctly characterized it as a strategic initiative “that diminishes delivery standards and raises prices.” The effect of those changes makes this, in the words of Chuck Zlatkin, the legislative and political director for the New York Metro Area Postal Union, “DeJoy’s 10-year plan for the de facto privatization of the post office.”

Even if DeJoy’s slashing and burning do not immediately lead to the dismantlement of the agency, it will do severe harm to the Postal Service, and to the communities that most rely on it. “Cuts to service standards for first-class mail, limiting hours at local post offices, and making it more difficult for people to access postal products would adversely impact USPS customers across the nation, including in rural and underserved communities,” explains Senator Gary Peters, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the committee with oversight responsibilities for the Postal Service.

1. WTF? This is Just Another Click Bait Rant That Ignores The Process Biden Has Started and Must Follow

to get rid of DeJoy. There was a time I would have expected better from John Nichols if not the Nation. This article will only serve to rile up Dems who don't know any better to think that Biden is ignoring the problem.
