Spaceman Spiff Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 USPS is still terrible. Ordered something 12/31 to be shipped from Indiana to Va, took two weeks. Ordered something last Thursday from Arizona, it'll take over a week to get here, maybe longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 My mail just came...a full 3 hours early. (Not too long ago, I got a package and my mail in one big pile at about 8:30pm). Not sure what's going on, but I'm suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 So the excuse was that USPS had an amazing amount of Christmas mail (which happens every year without issue) but usps is still garbage. I ordered something that should have arrived last Friday and it has instead been stuck in a California sorting facility where it remains to this day. DeJoy should be exiled for what he’s done to the post office. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I posted earlier in this thread about something I ordered on the 25th of November that was supposed to be delivered by December 3rd. It was intended as a Christmas gift for my son. It didn't arrive until the third week in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Lawmaker demands U.S. Postal Service turn over vehicle contract he chairwoman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Friday demanded the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) release a contract it awarded to Oshkosh Corp that could be worth $6 billion to build up to 165,000 next-generation delivery vehicles. Some Democrats in Congress have been critical that the USPS awarded a multibillion-dollar, 10-year contract to Oshkosh Defense, a unit of Oshkosh Corp, to build a mix of gasoline-powered and electric delivery vehicles instead of choosing Workhorse Group Inc to build an all-electric fleet. Representative Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat who chairs the committee that oversees the USPS, said “a thorough review is warranted to ensure the award process is free from undue influence and potential interference.” She demanded USPS release the final contract, all offers submitted, records of negotiations and evaluation factors by March 26.

LadySkinsFan Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) The problem of having business people in government is that they are focused on reducing expenses and increasing profit, as is proper for business. Business people aren't focused on human beings. Government is focused on service to We the People. Not the bottom line, not on reducing services, and definitely not increasing profit.

TradeTheBeal! Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 This is interesting. DeJoys plan may be offering a devil’s bargain...and it may be one worth taking for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Why Joe hasn't filled the vacancies on the postal board yet? Once they do that, the Dems will be in the majority and then they can fire Dejoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Meet Biden’s Postal Service nominees, who could add pressure on Louis DeJoy President Biden’s three nominees to the U.S. Postal Service’s governing board could fundamentally tilt the balance of power at the beleaguered mail agency and add pressure on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. If they win Senate confirmation, the nominees — Democrats Ron Stroman and Anton Hajjar, and independent Amber McReynolds — would serve on a board that historically operates by consensus, delivering decisions with unanimity and through scripted public meetings. They also would give Democrats and Biden appointees a one-seat majority and potentially the votes to remove DeJoy, under whose oversight the mail service has recorded sharp declines in mail delivery standards. But the board’s two sitting Democrats, Chairman Ron Bloom and Donald Lee Moak, have publicly supported the postmaster general. Political divisions among board members — and between the board and Democrats in Congress — have quietly percolated since former president Donald Trump tried to meddle in mail operations by leveraging the Postal Service’s finances, then hamper the agency’s ability to send and collect mail ballots.

China Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 The Postal Service is running a 'covert operations program' that monitors Americans' social media posts The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has been quietly running a program that tracks and collects Americans’ social media posts, including those about planned protests, according to a document obtained by Yahoo News. The details of the surveillance effort, known as iCOP, or Internet Covert Operations Program, have not previously been made public. The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as “inflammatory” postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.

Destino Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 They named their secret program, “Covert Operations Program”? Are there any files at the post office named “incriminating evidence” or “it would be bad if the media ever saw these”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
