But this is more than an anecdotal set of incidents. Since Louis DeJoy, a Trump loyalist and donor, took over as Postmaster General this month, he has moved to cut overtime among postal workers. He also noted in a memo that postal workers should leave mail behind if it would cause delays to routes. Another program would deliver mail early and rolling back sorting, which would delay the mail even further, and this compounds over time. Numerous post offices across the country were also suddenly scheduled to close, although the agency seems to be backing away from that now.
DeJoy has cited financial losses and said that the agency must “make necessary adjustments.” Critics have charged this is an effort to wound the culture and reputation of the Postal Service, and leave it open to privatization. UPS and FedEx have exploited this crisis by raising shipping rates, knowing that their competitor is being undermined from within.
All corruption, all the time. Not enough people int eh US are paying attention to this national emergency.
