The Postmaster General was on television today, at a Senate Hearing. Unless his talent at bull shitting is off the scale, the guy's doing a better job than his predecessors. He only came into the job in June, and brought a wealth of experience, in the private sector as well as one $3 billion project done for the postal service in the 1990's. He's implemented a plan to increase on time deliver from 88% to 97%, and to cut costs, the majority of which will come from less overtime, by $2.5 billion per year. There have been some hitches in implementing the plan, resulting in some of the complaints you're reading about. But certain aspects of it are being put on hold until after the election. The postal service is going to do its best to ensure timely delivery of mail come election time. Lusty Lad pointed out in another thread that maybe 150 million votes will be cast this year. One Senator pointed out that the week of December 16, the Post office delivered 2.6 billion pieces of mail. Considering voting will occur over a 2 month period, 150 million pieces of mail are nothing.
The postal service is losing $9 billion a year and is expected to lose $240 billion over the next 10 years, according to the Postmaster General. It's hamstrung by stupid rules, like having to deliver 6 days a week in remote rural areas. The Postmaster General sounds like he's really on top of it, and after the election Biden would be wise to keep him on and Congress would be wise to do something about the stupid mandates that cause the Postal Service to bleed red ink.

Anytime you want to confuse and infuriate a libtard, just start throwing numbers at them like the above. The dim-retards can't handle anything that requires more than a 4th-grade math proficiency level to comprehend.
Plus anyone with proven experience in making any enterprise run efficiently (read: in the black, not in the red) is automatically evil and heartless to the dim-retards, who want to make the entire economy look like the DC swamp!
