    these steps will ensure it still exist and won’t have to be dismantled.

    when you have been defaulting on payments since 2012, you’ve got to change your business model

    Since De Joy was appointed in May 2020 the post office has removed 671 sorting machines. And now their new line of attack will be closing post offices.

    Their woes began in 2006 with the Bush Admin and the GOP Congress of that period.

    well actually that had major issues prior that as well..hence the need for legislation that dems co sponsored and voted on in 06...but at least they were paying their bills til obama and biden took over.

    Congress mandates virtually all of their revenue streams and whether they can close expensive unproductive sites.

    he was. the board members serve 7 years and there are four dems on the board

    the president does not appoint the Post Master

    trump does however agree with the Post Master that the Post office needs to be saved and that requires some cost savings

    not really...what made things worse was the growth of the internet, and obama and biden admin not being smart enough to adjust. So now the trump admin has to

    Why would he do that this has been planned the machines are not necessary anymore at those postal sortation cites because the volume of mail as dropped over 30%, they ran a $2.2 billion deficit last quarter. We don't need a federal holiday voting does not take all day at properly managed polling cites. Never had it the past 240 years and lots of states already have extended voting. Tax returns are not voter registration and are HIGHLY private information, get your arse down to your local election official AND REGISTER
