"We have $X billion (I didn't catch the actual number) a month, uh, a week, uh, bi-weekly payroll."

(4,846 posts)You are in charge of tens of thousands of postal workers in the the whole US. It's not some small company with 100 people. Of course the payroll is going to be huge when you are employing that many people.
Of course, the take-away is that he doesn't even know if the postal workers are paid weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

(778 posts)Made quite a reputation for himself as a jobs killer, and anti-union executive, and a moron. What amazes me is how easily he has been swayed by Don the con. Apparently he had been a huge promoter of robots and didn't want humans as employees and yet, he throws out the Sorting machines while he cut the overtime for employees. Now he has basically said that he thanks everyone for the money that may be coming their way, but they don't need it. It has too many strings attached 4 him and he's insinuating they want him to put up more mailboxes and get more sorting machines. All they are asking for is a replacement of the ones he's already destroyed. Just another fool in the court of trump.

(129,445 posts)who worked for (and retired) or are currently employed by the Postal Service. And he latched on to DeJoy's ass like a pit bull and didn't let go!
He made him say that he was NOT going to put those hundreds (I think they said 671) sorting machines back (although as I understand it, there were ones that had been removed yet but were turned off and some offices said f-you and plugged them back in).

(129,445 posts)GOOD lawyers don't ask a question without already knowing the answer. He just nailed him for all kinds of illegal stuff and then the icing on the cake was to tie him to most likely expecting to get a pardon.

I loved the question about DeJoy hoping for a pardon like Stone.
These Democrats are as well prepared and not giving an inch.
As an aside, being a New Yorker myself, DeJoy's accent is embarrassing - no better than Archie Bunker.
