In reply to the discussion: 'I'm Not Naive, Sir!': Congress Wants Answers On Big Postal Service Changes DeJoy Keeps Pushing [View all]Lonestarblue
(13,484 posts)15. The USPS was working fine before DeJoy took over.
Congress should be asking for specific details of what he changed and why. Like why did he destroy a new million-dollar sorting machine?
Biden has nominated Democratic members for the Board of Governors. Their hearings need to be fast tracked, or are Republicans dragging their confirmation out too? Once in place, they can fire DeJoy because I think they will have the majority. If they cant, then Biden needs to demand that the Board fire DeJoy for cause.

Biden is pushing a new board through. The usual Senate machinations will be needed.

You are correct. USPS started decommissioning them back during the Bush admin (2005-ish?)

So, NoJoy appeared in a congressional hearing and was condescending to a congress member.

It boggles the mind that this hack has the power to throttle the USPS to death.
