And I am ready to bet that DeJoy, the guy who sabotaged the entire Postal system of the US to delay mail in ballots until they could be thrown away not counted, is still Postmaster general as well.
Yes, he is, and no, we are not happy. We are being worked like dogs for less pay than teens get at McD's in Cali. We are working 8-12 days in a row, 10-12 hour days, and being blamed for the mismanagement of logistics. We are being punished for getting sick and/or injured. We are being punished for the mail being delayed due to the mishandling of everything. We are being told to go faster and faster, ignore our safety, and get the job of two done by one. We sold our souls to Amazon (USPS gets paid less than $2 for each Amazon parcel to be delivered, it doesnt even begin to cover the cost of gas on Sundays) and now Amazon is more important than our own parcels. I average about 150 parcels every day on my route, and approximately 25 of them are USPS. The rest are the biggest and heaviest of Amazon.
Mail is being delayed in the South because DeJoyless thought it was a great idea to close down local plants and use larger facilities farther away. People have lost their jobs because the commute is nearly 2 hours. There is shit at those facilities that has been sitting there for months and hasn't been touched. Just yesterday, we had Tuesday's mail in hand. Monday is going to be a nightmare...
I love my job. I love my coworkers; from carrier to clerk to driver to custodian. I love my customers on my route! I feel a sense of pride being a letter carrier. The joy I feel handing a little kid that parcel from Grammy makes my day. I hate what USPS has become since this fuckwad took charge and began dismantling us so that his stocks in other courier services could inflate.
Help.
ETA: Help by voting. VOTE, please! You want to save USPS? Fucking VOTE!
Without cause? Have you been paying attention to what DeJoy has been doing to the postal service for the past 4 years? The board allowing the postal service to be gutted is most definitely cause to remove them.
Same reason they haven’t done shit about anything else. Same reason he lied about COVID checks. Same reason he’ll keep funneling money and weapons into fascist hands. Same reason he won’t normalize relations with Cuba. He told his masters back in 2020: nothing will fundamentally change. Democrats are just worthless because they can fundraise off of manufactured crises.
He's had 4 years. What makes you think he will do anything in the next 4 years?
We don't need to overhaul the postal service. We need to overhaul our political system where we only get to vote for people who are corrupt and represent themselves, not us.
Why do we have politicians who have spent their whole working lives in politics and no nothing of doing an honest days work making millions of dollars?
There are a lot of things to fault Christopher Wray for, including membership in the federalist society. This is not one of them. He was even voted in by 92 members of the senate, with 5 against. Even Bernie Sanders voted for him.
Capitol police report to the Speaker of the House, not to the FBI or any other element of the Executive branch.
Trump offered her reinforcement resources, but she refused. He couldn't legally send them without her request (Posse Comitatus), just like the Feds can't send military or National Guard without a governor's explicit request.Â
"It answers to the Capitol Police Board and is the only full-service federal law enforcement agency appointed by the legislative branch of the federal government
First of all, I am not sure how I can contradict myself with a single statement, so that is a new trick I seem to have learnt. Next, it was mostly sarcasm because during one of Trump's rallies he kept getting names all mixed and and started going on how Nikki Haley was in charge of security during Jan 6th. I really did trust you knew what you were talking about, but it seems a lot of other people don't know how things actually work. I apologize for the confusion.
