Two days ago I received a Christmas card from my ex-wife. That in itself is not unusual. What is unusual is that the card was postmarked in Oakland on Dec. 18. That means it took over two full months to travel from California to Pennsylvania.
This is a hangover from the incompetence of the last administration, when DeJoy was appointed with the express purpose of wrecking the postal service both to screw up mail-in ballots and to encourage a demand to privatize the United States Postal Service.
Today DeJoy was at a congressional hearing, unrepentant. It does get depressing.
Same thing happened with us. Christmas card mailed fro Ohio in early December, arrived here in Illinois, first week of February. Even the Pony Express was better. This is not because of incompetence but by shear arrogance of DeJoy. At least we are getting three new Democrats on the board. Hopefully this is the start of a turn around at the USPS.
ReplyDeleteI sent a CD to our son and still has not gotten it. Just down the road, 84 miles.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this is a deliberate attempt to push privatization. I don't want to go all conspiracy theory, but I know some people have been pushing for this.
