Before entering politics, Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) spent decades at the United States Postal Service. And during a congressional hearing Thursday, she sought to get some answers about a big restructuring for the USPS, one that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has hyped for weeks without offering any details.
The postmaster general and Democrats on the subcommittee did agree on some major steps that Congress can take, including repealing a congressional mandate that requires the USPS to pre-fund its employees’ retirement health benefits
This is a big deal, but still, toss Dejoy out with the other destructive moles.
All of the Repubs BS about “the post office hasn’t turned a profit in years and years” is crap. Shall we suggest that the Defense Department turn a profit? HHS? The long term goal of the Repubs with respect to the USPS has been self-evident for a long, long time.
I ordered a kitchen knife from an outfit in Wisconsin at the beginning of the month, and that knife left a sorting facility there and went into a ten-day limbo where neither the tracking system nor I had any idea where it was. I assume it was sitting somewhere along the way in a pile of other bottlenecked packages. Today it finally turned up, like a lost cat, in a city near me and will finally reach its forever home tomorrow. This. Never. Happened. Before. The SOB has a financial interest in crippling the USPS and it sure seems like he’s making that happen. If I were Biden I’d inquire about the possibility of bringing his ass in to the Oval, pointing to the desk and saying if I have a resignation right there tomorrow before lunch that’s the end of it. If not, you better hope to God you’re clean as a whistle while we move to force you out, because at that point it won’t end there if you’ve put one toe over the line. Let him discuss that with his lawyer that evening as a sort of dessert. Fuck me but this has been going on for months and months now. This poison-pill bullshit will not do.
