Magats Don't Even Like DeJoy

There has to be a way to remove this guy before he destroys the Post Office. I thought when we got new board members he was gone, guess the new members are just as bad?

I live in rural Pa. in a small town where 4 out of 5 people voted for TSF. I just went to the Post Office to mail a letter so I thought I'd ask the nice Magat lady inside (she has always been nice to me but I know she is a Magat) why I hadn't gotten any mail for 2 days.

She responded that the Post office didn't get any mail for 2 days, it all showed up today. So I think I can nail her and say, maybe we should fire DeJoy? She answers, he certainly isn't doing any good for the Post Office.

There you have it folks, even the unwashed Magats hate DeJoy but he can't be fired. Maybe pressure needs to be put on board members? Last I checked, a lot of absentee ballots are sent through the mail.

of Labor for 2 yrs. was nominated by Pres. Biden on March 1 to the Board of Governors. That leaves 1 seat to be filled.
Senate has to confirm Walsh.

Let's hope there's some action on that front. DeJoy is greasing the skids for
privatization of the USPS and the elections are fast approaching. And the kind of local problems you described have been happening across the country under De Joyless.

Sen. Peters had hearings last week. Hopefully there is pressure on Schumer from fellow Senators.

Everyone was complaining about him and i thought that they did appoint people but apparently some (board members) wanted him to stay on?

Humans are so fucking dumb — we deserve shit like this for designing a system where idiocy and corruption find a safe haven at the highest levels of our government.

I bet if the tables were turned and Magats wanted to remove DeJoy, they would find a way. Just like they found a way to stop President Obama from appointing a Supreme Court justice.
