I blame DeJoy and the Republicans. They gutted and hamstrung one of the greatest government agencies we have ever had. They did not hire seasonal workers for the holiday rush, they dismantled needed machines, and when COVID decimated their ranks they had no temporary employees available to fill in. The mismanagement comes straight from the top.
