Biden inherited a USPS crisis. Here's how Democrats want to fix it.

[634-5789]

"On one side is Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who, with the backing of the U.S. Postal Service’s governing board, is expected as soon as next week to outline a new vision for the agency, one that includes more service cuts, higher and region-specific pricing, and lower delivery expectations.

But congressional Democrats are pressing President Biden to install new board members, creating a majority bloc that could oust DeJoy, a Trump loyalist whose aggressive cost-cutting over the summer has been singled out for much of the performance decline. The fight over the agency’s future is expected to be fraught and protracted, leaving Americans with unreliable mail delivery for the foreseeable future."

1. DeJerk will continue to sabotage until he's removed and jailed.

He's trying to destroy USPS because he has stock in FedEx and UPS.

2. Please fix it

I regularly order from a company in CA and the past two dozen times my package has arrived in 2-3 business days via USPS Priority from CA straight to NJ.

I just ordered something last week and tracking has my package being routed into San Juan PR for some reason. Now it’s just “You’re package will arrive late”. No anticipated delivery date or status update in two days.

Can’t help but wonder if this is some childish tantrum shit like “Our guy didn’t win so we’re gonna break stuff just to make everyone miserable” type thing.

3. It's been happening longer than the last few weeks

I mailed my property tax payment that was due December 31 around the 15th of December. The check didn't get cashed until the end of January. I actually mailed it a bit early because I was worried about the mail and the check getting there. Grrrrr
