In highly-anticipated Senate testimony Friday, embattled Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was able to assuage some of election experts’ worst fears about how new changes at the U.S. Postal Service could hinder vote-by-mail this November. But he dismissed other concerns that have swept the country in recent weeks, leaving a still-murky picture of whether his agency was prepared for a pandemic election, even as some questions central to the USPS’ ability to deliver ballots on time were cleared up.
We’re going to need (1) documentary disclosure, and (2) to hear directly from managers working in the post offices that have been affected. The House is supposed to receive documents today. Unclear about what else it has up its sleeve. A vacation until September 17 is presumably not on the cards.
Crucially, DeJoy promised that USPS would continue its approach of expediting the delivery of mail ballots, even if election officials chose a cheaper — and, thus, typically slower — postage class
He’s lying. He’s a liar. All trump’s cronies are liars.It’s what they do. Like breathing. Comes so natural to them. And trump is their Dear Leader because he tells the biggest, most bestest lies. And all Dear Leader’s followers giggle with glee when he tells a real whopper. It proves he owns the libs. All they can do is whine about it.
It must be causing big business like Netflix and others money. It takes longer to receive DVDs in the like which angers their customers which in the end will mean that they drop Netflix which will cost Netflix millions of dollars. But hey talk is cheap isn’t it? We’re tired of the flapping his jaws we won Trump crony crook fired says simple stop talking about what he has promised and what he’s not we don’t care just fire him and put the post office back the way it Wass before this Trump started rip in it apart piece by piece. Throw is rotten but in jail cause he’s a crook you know he’s a crook so what’s taking so long. Tired of hearing about the media talking about it and this Oh and Congress is going to have their earrings and then we’ll discuss it no we don’t want to hear any more talking or reporting on it we want him fired it’s that simple get rid of him and tell Donald Trump hands off the post office.
He’s said at least some of the right things, which means that he knows what the right things are. Not putting money on him doing them
I particularly wanted to highlight this piece of bullsh*t:
“Theoretically,” DeJoy insisted, his demand that delivery trucks leave on schedule, regardless of whether all the mail was ready for them, should have gotten everyone’s mail to them faster.
This is transparently stupid, and also highlights why someone involved in business-to-business logistics is exactly the wrong person for the post office. No sensible person cares whether their mail carrier drops their residential mail off at 2 pm on the dot or 230, or even 3. What they care about is whether something scheduled for today gets there today.
Businesses with production lines and bunches of just-in-time suppliers care deeply whether supplier X’s truck arrives for unloading during the scheduled window, because their operation depends on that. But they’re ordering pretty much the same thing from day to day, and if they have to increase their lead time on special-order items to make sure they hit that unloading window, they’re generally OK with that. Almost precisely the opposite of residential requirements.
Wish list for Monday’s House Hearing with DeJoy (from another thread):
["Next week, if I were Nancy, I would destroy this mook by getting the questioning down to Porter, maybe someone of similar competence and a professional litigator.
‘I yield my questioning to Mr. Matlock’ should be the repeated phrase"]
That’s old-school. These days, lot of stuff on delivery windows, focus on getting things before a certain time of day, etc. And not just for businesses, people also care because they don’t want to wait around all day if they have to sign for a package, or if there is a risk of porch thieves.
Then how does he explain his top deputy Steve Scalise or as Scalise calls himself, “David Duke without the baggage”. David Duke without the baggage is by definition a clansman with the hood still covering his face/yet to reveal himself.
Maybe that is the real reason McCarthy is denouncing QAnon, he is to chickenshit to reveal himself.
