Washington — President Biden announced his three nominees to join the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors on Wednesday, the first step for the board to potentially oust controversial Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. There are currently three vacancies on the nine-member board, and the six existing members were all appointed by former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Biden has chosen Anton Hajjar, the former general counsel of the American Postal Workers Union; Amber McReynolds, a voting rights activist and the CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute; and Ron Stroman, who recently retired as deputy postmaster general. If confirmed by the Senate, Democrats would have a majority on the board, which currently has four Republicans and two Democrats.
DeJoy appeared at a hearing before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday, where Democrats grilled him on the slowdown in mail deliveries over the summer, amid the coronavirus pandemic and an uptick in voting by mail ahead of the November election. DeJoy told members of the committee that his future plans for the agency may include slowing the delivery of first-class mail.

Email is replacing the need for physical mail and can be sent and delivered immediately......
I no longer get bills in the mail, it all comes via email and all my payments are done online too........
And Amazon, UPS and FedEx are delivering all the packages........
Replacing him with one who chairs and organization titled VOTE FROM HOME????????? WTF? There will never be a free election again in this country.
The stolen election ?
He gave it to his "lawyers"

I assume that she has some actual experience with the USPS and not just with advocating the fixing of elections.
PING!
No. 1 might be OK. 2 and 3 would be right out, in my book.
I still haven’t received the stamps I ordered online a couple weeks ago.
I used to mail my grandchildren a few dollars each week. I insisted my son get Venmo so I can send it electronically.
The few bills I paid by check I now pay from my computer.
I am attempting to stop any junk mail that I can. I write return to sender in hopes they will get the message and remove me from their lists
I think that pictures of most democrats should be on Post Office bulletin boards.
I actually use the postal service now at most about once every other month.
IF I need to ship something, I take it to either a Postal Center USA(private company) or a Fed Ex office or UPS.
I certainly do not trust the USPS to ship anything important. They are an incompetent company.
The need for the USPS has gone the way of the buggy whip.
Can’t argue with that.
I don’t use the post office much. I bought 500 forever stamps 2 years ago and used 5 so far. I figure I’ll still have them when stamps are 5 dollars.
“A ‘forever’ stamp is an indicator of delivery speed.”
LOL! Never heard that one. :)
For all I care, they could take delivery down to one day a week; or maybe make the Unionistas work long-@ss weekends delivering mail? ;)
I can’t think of anything I get through the mail anymore that is of dire need. Maybe eventual meds, but you can plan ahead for that.
*SHRUG* I guess I care little what happens to the USPS; it’s a screwed up mess - with the ‘help’ of Mother Government, of course!
“I am attempting to stop any junk mail that I can. I write return to sender in hopes they will get the message and remove me from their lists.”
When you get junk mail that has a postage-paid return envelope with it, stuff all of the contents BACK into that envelope and re-sent it to them. Make it as heavy as you can - add additional junk mail if needed or a rock, LOL!
THEY have to pay for that return postage. They’ll drop you from their mailing list like a hot potato, guaranteed.
I’ve been doing that for all of the unsolicited charity junk-mail I was getting for my Dad. It’s finally slowed to a trickle, 6 months after his passing.
No Kasich?
Lol. So true. Too funny. I’m sure he’s in the corner pissed off about it. Keeps whispering, “but my father was a mailman! BIDEN!!!!!”
Got a Christmas card, mailed on December 15, on January 12. Now I’m being threatened with water cutoff because the check, mailed four weeks ago, hasn’t arrived yet. There’s gotta be a better way.
We had a ‘check lost in the mail’ incident this past month, too. :(
