DeJoy has wanted to and has been working towards privatizing the USPS from his first day in office. That’s why he was put there by Drump in the first place. He has done things to destabilize it for 8 years now. The USPS was not put in place by Benjamin Franklin as a business….
It was put in place as a service and has a responsibility to deliver to EVERY address. Private companies will not do this. America is seriously becoming a third rate country.
Look at the history of the USPS to learn what it used to offer the American people; it was our circulation system and kept us connected to and independent of DC. Louis De Joy is still its head despite the destruction he wrought. Strengthen it and bring back basic banking services.
what you describe is the goal of Louis deJoy. The USPS is supposed to be federally funded, protected and organized. It was in the past, since the time of Ben Franklin. Trump wants to destroy it to clear the way for for-profit delivery services.
If the for profit services do a better job than the federally backed services... Well... How is it bad to want to get shudder the service that has only ever gotten worse?
I do and I live in the home of FedEx. Others I know do as well. I have sent numerous packages via USPS through priority mail and they have gotten there either on or before the day promised.
In my experience, if I ever get my packages on the correct date, it's at the very end of the day, like they just don't care... And forget about trying to use their website to track your shipment!
The consequences of a fuckwitted decision like this will be catastrophic. Privatization is obviously their goal. We’re on the edge of devolving into a completed corporatocracy, a thing we were already WAY too close to before all this shit took off.
I'll BET if trump wanted him out, it would somehow take a week or less.
What a friggin' joke this place is.
All the chest thumping this place does in front of the world is BS.
It's like an interior renovation is underway. They're taking sledgehammers to the entire place.
I hate these assholes so much. “tHe PoSt oFfIcE lOsEs MoNeY” It’s not a business you fucking clown. It’s a service. You want to look at every government service as a business, just wait until you hear how much money the Department of Defense “loses”.
Shit, now where the fuck am I gonna get my endless stacks of advertisements for things which I can never afford?
(I hope I don't have to explain that I'm not about ditching the post office. I'm actually pointing out he's cutting off advertising medium for business, a massive source of paper waste)
WTF is actually wrong with these people between what they are doing to the SSA and threatening about the USPS they are hitting their biggest supporters now and we know these supporters aren’t afraid to “visit” with a lot of exuberance.
A large swath of us knew this was coming. The put him in place EXACTLY for this reason. They want to privatize EVERYTHING! USPS has been an affordable service NO MATTER what the income bracket was. RED STATES will suffer harshly. -ONE.💯
Biden kept this weasel in charge despite knowing that he was planted there by Trump precisely to dismantle USPS entirely and hand over the remains to private equity.
Would be nice if the DNC wasn't just enablers for Republicans
I really wonder why Biden didn’t do it. I contacted his office & basically got a form letter saying “Thanks for your idea we’re focused on something else.”
All these years and this grade-A prick is still there. Again, Democrats are so enamored with the process and dotting every "i" that they simply allow evil to happen.
Why are we funding the post office at levels that would suggest it hasn't been diminished in necessity by DHL, FedEx, Amazon, and UPS? Why are we still funding it as if most of the mail we get isn't junk? Why are we behaving as though people don't have the option of going paperless?
Actually, UPS, DHL, and Amazon will send your packages via USPS whether you want them to or not. Millions of their packages are delivered via USPS everyday.
You can't know what you never had. That's the aim here. Destroy these services, replace with privatized versions, and people will never know it used to be affordable. Erase the pencil, redraw in ink, and tell them this is how it always was.
FFS. In some small rural towns, the post office is the only place people can get their medicines. It’s like they are purposefully thinking of ways to kill older and vulnerable people.
Remember when the Republicans made the USPS forward-fund its pensions for like 50 years to try to break it and it didn’t work? Now they’re trying to steal that pension money.
He’s been eager to get to USPS privatization for a while now, so big whoop. 😒
It irritates me that DeJoy was STILL there through Biden’s term. Probably wouldn’t have mattered today, but still something that irritates me.
It's not that they could disappear, they're going to. They've been on a steady decline since Trump appointed Dejoy. His long term plan was to slowly destroy USPS and make the public lose confidence in it. It did just the opposite - the people are pissed.
Everybody involved is treating the post office as if the goal is to make money, when, like many agencies, it exists to provide a service. Not everything is designed for profit, nor should it be. We pay taxes, and in theory, get services in return. TAX THE RICH like they tax us. Problem solved.
So cool that this guy wasn't axed during the Biden administration, really glad he got to enjoy some career longevity just hanging out like cancer in the background waiting to re-emerge when we thought that democracy might actually be getting healthy again.
Rural areas will suffer the hardest. Rural delivery is absolutely not profitable. Delivering letters and medication to your backwater town is a SERVICE that for profit companies simply will not do.
Rural areas will get hit the hardest most likely. LBJ reverberates across time. “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

Nobody willingly chooses USPS over any other shipping method these days.
I never hear anything but complaints about USPS services.
The fact that they can't even keep their live tracking info updated in real time shows they suck
You Pvt. Pyle slack-jawed fuck

Yeah it’s a lot of paper but a ton gets recycled. And it’s nothing compared to the waste of a big business
Would be nice if the DNC wasn't just enablers for Republicans
not a whisper from either of them
by that same token we are likely stuck with DOGE in perpetuity, god help us
If I don't choose to have my packages shipped via USPS, then USPS is entirely excluded from the shipment process.
DHL, Amazon, and UPS all ship via USPS.
All of this information is available to the public. Sorry it's not part of some lunatic conspiracy theory.

This is a grown ass man responsible for his own stupidity.
Yall stay trying to transfer blame everywhere but on the person themselves
Both teams want that USPS privatization payout.
It irritates me that DeJoy was STILL there through Biden’s term. Probably wouldn’t have mattered today, but still something that irritates me.
Good luck and goodnight.
Ha..... Ahahahahahahahahaha🤣 🤣 🤣
