Cost-cutting changes at the U.S. Postal Service championed by the new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy this year created “significant negative service impacts across the country,” an investigation from the Postal Service’s inspector general concluded this week.
Again a fucking “business man” with no fucking clue how to run an operation as large as the USPS.
DeJoy who ran XPO Logistics, a company much smaller than USPS, and different missions.
XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) is an American multinational transportation and contract logistics company that manages supply chains for 50,000 customers, including 69 of the Fortune 100.[7][8] It operates in 30 countries, with approximately 100,000 employees.
Fucking CEOs.
His job (working under bootlick Mnuchin) was to wreck the USPS thru deliberate incompetence and sabotage. Instead he exposed his illegal campaign contributions instead and will go down in flames serving Trump, who doesn’t care.
He could have worked towards lifting the retirement pre-pay requirement off of the USPS. Also, working on improving mail service seems like a worthy endeavor for someone in that position.
Trump’s billionaires have not impressed me.
DeJoy of DeGOP.
He was pretty effective in devising means of stalling and preventing delivery of the mail and subsequently, many ballots. For one party, that makes him a brilliant business man. He is a genius because he showed up with his monkey wrench.
This looks like criminal behavior to me. I would love to see their emails.
So, an executive type who doesn’t really understand the business parachutes in and makes a bunch of stupid short-sighted spreadsheet-driven cost cutting moves that seriously damage the organization’s core capabilities, to say nothing of employee morale … gee, that never happens in the private sector.
Except maybe once or twice.
Per day.
So many of the changes made to the operations of federal agencies like the postal service by themselves are seemingly small and their impact isn’t immediate and observable for many people. For people who base their thinking on how an action affects them personally, or who see only black-and-white, concrete effects of a single action and its results, all of these changes will seem small and unimportant. I imagine of lot of people would say “so what?” if the mail takes an extra day.
Those of us able to look at a longer-term, complex interactions can analyze how how small changes have ripple effects that impact individuals and businesses. The same concept applies to lessening regulations on pollution and the weakening of the role of scientists in decision making by federal agencies like the FDA and EPA. Small changes might seem insignificant but have such serious long-term consequences.
Unless people are harmed directly, so many can just shrug it off …
A report on the investigation found that a slew of changes spearheaded and accelerated after DeJoy became Postmaster General…
Someone should have slew DeJoy before his slew of changes slue out of control.
Perhaps you have misunderstood his mission. The GOP have wanted to get rid of the USPS for at least two decades. They want to privatize the system and hand over all mail delivery to UPS, FedEx, and the rest. DeJoy did exactly what he was appointed to do - damage the infrastructure and reputation of the USPS so that a GOP Congress and President could justify privatizing it.
FIFY! 
on-time delivery of first-class mail dropped from 90.1% to 79.7%.
incompetence or duplicity?
or both at 30/70?
I am in favor of incarcerating individuals from the Trump Administration until they become rational compassionate human beings - at Guantanamo
I bought some seeds on Ebay a few years ago and never received them. I sent a polite email to the seller informing him of this and he responded with a hate filled email explaining how the godamned commie USPS had fucked up so don’t blame ME. I forwarded the email to the folks at Ebay and received my money back, and his account disappeared a few days later.

Mission accomplished.
You just know Trump wouldn’t give him a monkey wrench, DeJoy had to provide his own.
Oh I understand his mission, but what I don’t understand is why DeJoy would take on this operation to fuck up the most beloved, and trusted now quasi government institution? Do you really want to go through the rest of your life being known as the one who killed the USPS? Going postal would have a whole new meaning.
Yeppers! Destroy the viability of the USPS, sell off the carcass and bank millions to Republiscum politicians. Makes sense to me!
It seems like every news story today has made Trump and Company seem worse. I realize that most people don’t follow this stuff as closely as we do, but this has not been a good day for the incumbent.
