I continue to be baffled and enraged at Biden's refusal to address the issue, given the myriad of opportunities he had to replace members of the Board of Governors.

LOL my last and final job working for someone else was as a USPS rural carrier in the midwest. cannot stress enough that dejoy does not care at all about delivering mail better, does not care about USPS employees, and seems to actively be running the mail service into the ground.

It's unbelievable how the systems in the USA are unravelling.

…Biden and democrats are trying to fight the system within a system that brought us to this situation, it’s called arrested development or doing the same thing and expecting different result in a politically impaired country, good luck with that

The USPS has been losing billions of dollars each year for fifteen years. We the tax payers just keep them propped up.

It’s past time for someone to step up, and attempt to make the necessary changes in the operations. The

Postal employees know that Saturday delivery should have been discontinued Fifteen years ago. The thousands of rural post offices should have been done away with many years back. We live in a society of mobility. I personally applaud DeJoy’s. I’m a pro labor person, but common sense tells us, the USPS can’t continue to operate with a tremendous loss every year. No other industry, organization can remain in business after suffering so much deficit. If the Feds are propping up the USPS, there is no motive to change.

These « losses » are not losses in the sense that a commercial business would incur them. They are subsidies to a public enterprise serving low-population density areas.

The USPS had negative net income of $6.5 billion in 2023, which is trivial compared to the fortunes the government gives to the rapacious industrial firms that are destroying rural America.

Most intelligent citizens that the USPS serves know better than to use the system. It’s sad that it’s no longer safe to use. The only way that they post outgoing mail is to drive to a USPS office, go inside, and had the mail to a clerk. Even then , that’s a chance of being robbed, mugged, or killed. Snail mail service is dead.

DeJoy is attempting make changes in the USPS that is long overdue. Historically, no one has ever tried to implement the necessary changes. They knew the opposition from Congress, other Federal offices, and the bargaining unit would overpower the necessary changes. Pro labor, or not. Common sense says, it’s a sinking ship. Try to operate your household, business as the USPS does, it will go under, unless there’s a sighed blank check from the Federal government to keep it a float.

Can anyone name another company, organization that is still in business after suffering the billions of loss , year after year. There are none, and never will be. Just can’t happen.

Got to be realistic. Can your household continue to be functional if the earners suffer huge monetary losses year after year?

…you can not run post services as a business, it never been designed as suck, just like a country, it’s goal not a “business for profit” it supposed to serve people, not “making profit”

Biden knows that DeJoy’s actions are needed if the USPS remains in service. The USPS should have been contacted out many years ago. UPS would be a good choice to let the contract to.

Pro organized labor, or not. Common sense tells us that nothing can continue to operate with a continuous loss of profit. The USPS died many years ago, no one has had the nerve to bury it.

Being totally honest, the USPS should have been contacted out to UPS many years ago. They could operate the mail delivery with a profit. UPS is represented by Teamsters. I’ve been laid off three times while working represented companies. That’s life. The USPS employees shouldn’t be exempt from layoffs, if the organization isn’t making profits, changes are expected. That’s the life, where the Feds aren’t giving a free ticket to ride.

DeJoy isn’t running the USPS into the ground. It’s been many years past due for someone to implement the changes necessary to keep it afloat. When the Feds continue to pump billions each year into the USPS, they have no incentive to change.
