My first letter to Biden - USPS

Last edited Sat Feb 6, 2021, 08:58 PM - Edit history (1)

Hello President Biden! This is my first, possibly of many, letter to you. And it's about the Post Office. I cannot remember being so angry when DeJoy took over and began to ruin the USPS. I remember the mail slowdowns. People not getting bills on-time. Utilities and banks saying that payments were late and penalizing their customers. And of course, the elections, and definitely Christmas. During this pandemic, our dependence on the USPS has drastically increased, and to strip it in the name of profitability was unthinkable, atrocious, Hmpf, I have run out of negative adjectives.

So. In the first 100 days of your presidency, and we are on day 18, I want to see a move to subsidize the USPS so that there can be no more question of profitability, and then eradicate the current Board of Governors so that DeJoy can be removed. I don't know how long it will take, but I'd like to hear that it is on the priority list.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go ahead - write to the President. He's there for the people, so he should know what people are thinking.
