USPS Makes Alarming Deal With Elon Musk’s DOGE

US Postmaster General #LouisDeJoy is welcoming DOGE with open arms.
newrepublic.com/post/192777/us

"DeJoy said... #DOGE was “an effort aligned” with... shrinking the USPS,

#Musk also believes that the #USPS should be privatized...

#Privatization... would raise prices, hurt postal workers, and negatively impact #rural communities, who are served by USPS thanks to the #Constitution and federal #law."

Louis Dejoy resigning from USPS citing massive losses after DELIBERATELY DESTROYING millions of dollars in sorting machinery. His end goal, like Musk, was to destroy the USPS, privatize the service, and fill his pockets. I was on site after those machines went on line and the staffers were thrilled with their efficiency. Their destruction was tantamount to murder.

Voting by mail is safe and effective, they emphasize — but amid a halting 10-year Postal Service reorganization plan that has impacted local mail facilities, and frustration over a lack of communication from Postal Service leadership, election officials have a crucial piece of advice for people voting by mail: Send ballots back to election officials as soon as you can.

To see how the culture of performance and accountability at the #USPS has degraded under #LouisDeJoy, look at the fact that The #BostonCityCouncil held a hearing about delivery issues, and the Postal Service response was to deny there's a problem and refuse to show up.
I don't ding the #Biden admin for not dealing with this; there were barriers, and he had bigger things to worry about. But I sure hope #Harris won't let this drag on another 4 years.

It’s a feature, not a bug. 😡

Dozens of Democratic and Republican state election directors want Postmaster General #LouisDeJoy “to take immediate action to address USPS delays in order to avoid voter #disenfranchisement and to preserve trust in elections.”

Necessary edit:

"...to denounce mail-in voting because the US Postal Service could not be trusted to deliver pro-Trump votes fairly."

Becomes:

"to denounce #MailInVoting because the #USPostalService, currently under the highly-criticized leadership of #Trump ally and appointee #LouisDeJoy, could not be trusted to deliver pro-Trump votes fairly."

Why is Louis #DeJoy still running the United States Post office, when his political parentage and motivations are so clearly visible?
