And Biden should replace him….
From the election screwup to now?
He has has been nothing but loser…..
That class of mail is already struggling; only 38 percent was delivered on time at the end of 2020, the Postal Service reported in federal court. Customers have reported bills being held up, and holiday cards and packages still in transit. Pharmacies and prescription benefits managers have told patients to request medication refills early to leave additional time for mail delays. The agency has not disclosed on-time scores yet in 2021.
The new service standards are part of a strategic plan that DeJoy, a former logistics executive and major Republican donor, is set to roll out in the coming days. While the changes are not expected to have a significant impact on local service, the people said, they have commercial mailers, including banks, insurers, retailers and publications, worried they may aggravate existing slowdowns for nonlocal mail….
Note…
Congress need to change the Post Offices pension policy that IS cost the organization YUGE budget problems…
Democratic Socialist Dave says
This will no doubt further the big shift that Republicans, conservatives, free-market absolutists and greedy capitalists want from the USPS (née USPO) to FedEX, DHL, UPS and other private shippers.
If the mail-delivery times become too slow and too uncertain, then no doubt (Jack would know more) various legal and contractual requirements to deliver notices by First-Class U.S. Mail will be altered to give equal standing to notices delivered by UPS, FedEx, ( maybe Amazon Prime) & co.
Cf. similar privatizing efforts in health care and rail travel.
But after all, we know that the Post Office was established even before Independence by that notorious radical revolutionary Marxist-before-Marx and Leninist-before-Lenin, Benjamin Franklin.
Secretive Bolshevik agents somehow slipped this incendiary totalitarian post-office scheme (as somehow the true friends of Liberty slept) into the 1776 Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of 1787.
But two and half centuries later, there’s still time to reverse this dangerous trap-door into Bolivarian Socialism. ¡¡ This Republic need not [if true Patriots be Vigilant] Venezuela !!

DSD….
I regularly see UPS trucks at the Post Office….
My mail man delivers Amazon packages….
The issue with the Post Office IS the pension system money reserve ….
If Congress got off their asses from this Trump BS and put this on the list of things to correct they could solve the Post Office issue with one vote….
Biden needs to appoint the commission members he needs to send DeJoy packing…
Simple Right?
Nah….
This is American Government

80 House Democrats are calling on President Biden to fill three vacancies on the U.S. Postal Service’s Board of Governors, which would pave the way for potentially removing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.

Biden Appoints Three to Postal Service Board
Forbes reports that President Biden has nominated three new members to the USPS Board of Governors, which theoretically could give the board a majority of votes to remove current Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
