A notice from my bank. Heck'uva job, Dejoy!

[OneBro]

I received this notice from my bank this morning:

“New USPS service standards may add delivery time for important documents and payments.

Have you heard?

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has revised its service standards for certain First-Class Mail items, adding one to two additional days for mail traveling longer distances. These changes take place beginning October 1.

Please keep this in mind for anything we send to you, or that you may send to us, via mail. This may include monthly statements and payments, to name a few.“

The Republican Party is essentially a wrecking ball brazenly destroying our government.

[fescuerescue]

1. Yea. They are taking mail off of airplanes coast to coast

and sending it via truck instead.

The founding fathers would be appalled at what Dejoy is doing.

[Golden Raisin]

2. The Founding Fathers would also be appalled

that DeJoy can not quickly and expeditiously be fired.

[fescuerescue]

3. yup.

5. Yes to that

Why hasn’t he been fired yet. Trump fired the person before dejoy, so why can’t Biden do the same to dejoy.

[calimary]

13. Or swiftly incarcerated!

[OneBro]

6. UPS and FedEx are surely elated.

[fescuerescue]

8. hmm. I wonder what that will do for their stock

[jcgoldie]

10. Seems Dejoy's entire tenure...

is designed to sabotage the USPS to the benefit of private companies like those.

[notinkansas]

16. His actions have been so blatant -

its unbelievable that he hasn't been fired and prosecuted for the destruction of government property.

I truly do not understand how one person can be allowed to destroy a centuries old institution that the country depends on.

[SeattleVet]

24. Which means that he fits right in with the rest of tRumplethinskin's appointments.

Almost every one seems to have been selected to do the most damage possible to the agencies or departments they were to head.

[cinematicdiversions]

27. I think you would lose the founding fathers around the word airplane. NT

4. The (R)s have been trying to dismantle the USPS for decades.

They are hoping the public will take their wrath out on the USPS
when in reality it should be directed at Dejoy and the (R)s.

[JackSabbath]

7. Since it's so difficult to fire DeJoy

Could the job description of Postmaster be changed to something else? Like cleaning the toilets or something? Then we could create a new position with a different title that would resume his former responsibilities.

[CentralMass]

9. Yes. The Biden Adminsstation should do what it takes to fire and replace this asshole.

[lastlib]

15. I like the idea of demoting him to bathroom janitor.

Maybe it'll prepare him for prison life.

[notinkansas]

17. Actually, that bathroom duty idea is pretty genius.

[OMGWTF]

21. DeJoy (what a misnomer!) would just destroy all of the bathroom cleaning equipment.

It's what he does. I still hold that fker should at the very least, be personally responsible to pay for the replacement of the multi-million dollar machines he ordered destroyed so Traitor Tot would "win" reelection. Hanging is too good for him.

[notinkansas]

23. I hadn't thought of that.

I agree he would probably continue his pattern of destruction.

'at the very least, be personally responsible to pay for the replacement of the multi-million dollar machines he ordered destroyed' - for sure. Replacement of those machines should definitely be on him and not the taxpayers/USPS customers. But I think our expectations should go beyond 'least' and he should be held accountable (imprisoned) for attempting to destroy that institution.

11. The banks, etc., could pay extra to get faster delivery. The vast majority of mail and packages

don't need to be delivered in a day or two. Those that do, can be sent by USPS at a slightly higher cost, but still less than UPS, FedEx, etc.

The banks, etc., could also mail out those documents, that can't be sent by email, and packages a day or two earlier.

[Hoyt]

12. Double posted, sorry.

[Lonestarblue]

14. So much could be done to make this country a better place.

At one time, the USPS offered basic banking services, and it could again. Imagine how much money poor people could save if they could cash their paychecks for free at a post office instead of paying a percentage to a payday lender. And how about regulating bank fees for those who do have bank accounts but constantly face fees for overdrafts because the banks require three days for a paycheck to clear after the deposit—three days poor people can’t access their money when they may need it to feed their families or they access the money and pay an overdraft fee. Never mind that in the age of electronic money movement, the banks likely have the money within hours or no more than a day!

The unregulated free market is not a friend of most people, especially poor people.

[Turbineguy]

18. The slow delivery is a boon to banks.

People are switching to email delivery and the banks are saving money.

Dejoy isn't just about making things worse.

[colorado_ufo]

19. I got the same notice from my bank, u.s. bank

[OMGWTF]

22. Anyone who is banking with a Wall Street bank needs to move their money TODAY!

Go to a local bank or better yet, a credit union.

[Grasswire2]

20. In case you haven't seen the good news elsewhere on DU.

Biden has appointed three diverse new board members and they are senate confirmed.

Board chair Ron Bloom, Trump stooge, will end his HOLDOVER term Dec. 8, and Biden will appoint someone to fill that seat.

A majority of the board of governors will then be Dem appointed, and DeJoy can be fired for cause (corruption?)

Help is on the way.

It will take some time to undo DeJoy's evil changes. But help is on the way.

[traitorsgalore]

25. Thanks, had not seen that

I hope DeJoy is jailed for corruption.

[Blue Owl]

26. According to tRump this DeJoystick is America's finest

[moondust]

28. Late payment fee a year ago

on a check mailed from my credit union to a local address cost me $50. Same payment had been made for a decade before that with no late fees.

[live love laugh]

29. Received mail today first time in a week. Ridiculous.

Yesterday I mentioned it to some others in town and they all agreed service is getting worse.


I saw this too from the union:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1280505

“… letters, packages and magazines traveling longer distances could take up to five days to get to their intended destinations, instead of two or three.”

DeJoy has made clear he wants more mail delivered by truck, instead of air.…

The problem with that system is that there are not enough truck drivers,” said Karol.

“We’re moving mail to surface transportation centers and there aren’t enough drivers who can move that mail. They wait until trucks are 100 percent loaded and that could take days before they dispatch it.”
