Can't DeJoy be charged with election interference wnylib Apr 11 #8

That was one of the conspiracy theories BEFORE 2020 election. In truth, ballots were not delayed. Yet, Silent Type Apr 11 #30

Well, the blue box at the corner of the block that I live on wnylib Apr 11 #38

Do you really think that kept people from voting. Heck, maybe it was rusting out. And I remember Silent Type Apr 11 #40

Obviously it did not keep Biden from winning and wnylib Apr 11 #42

Clearly there are plenty of articles supporting a conspiracy theory that never occurred. Silent Type Apr 11 #43

Rubbish. Good bye. wnylib Apr 11 #49

It's been awful in my area. Not just for mail in ballots, but I've had a letter sent out in March of last year, BComplex Apr 12 #65

Criminal charges are generally only for the little people. Nt lostnfound Apr 11 #35

Name a specific complaint made by a candidate or campaign about USPS performance in 2020. brooklynite Apr 12 #68

I rarely use the postal service anymore it is so screwed up in my area. appleannie1 Apr 11 #9

I have a problem where I live, in a large apartment building.. wnylib Apr 11 #41

Is that DeJoy's fault? former9thward Apr 11 #51

?? Nothing in my post even implied that. wnylib Apr 11 #52

I thought Biden had already appointed enough new members of the Board of Governors to vote out DeJoy. TheRickles Apr 11 #10

There currently are 9 members of the BOG, plus two vacancies onenote Apr 11 #23

Thanks. TheRickles Apr 11 #54

The majority of the voting Board are Biden appointees. former9thward Apr 11 #50

Answer: Biden has appointed enough Governors to give Democrats a majority brooklynite Apr 12 #69

DeJoy won Biden over with his support of EVs. Biden has nominated the majority of people on the board of governors. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 11 #11

DeJoy also was instrumental in getting the 2022 Postal Reform bill over the finish line onenote Apr 11 #25

That's my take, as well. The ball was, and still is, in Biden's court of this issue. jaxexpat Apr 11 #28

That's the point, isn't it. You, and I, and others here don't know what Biden, Schumer etc. know. onenote Apr 11 #57

It may be that if we perceive inexplicability, then others, some with nefarious intentions, will too. jaxexpat Apr 11 #63

I think the idea is to privatize it and running it into the ground will convince Americans privatization is the answer. jalan48 Apr 11 #12

There's a book about that. markodochartaigh Apr 11 #17

That's absolutely what they are trying to do - TBF Apr 11 #24

Worse for the workers I am sure. Privatization of public services can make some people super wealthy. jalan48 Apr 11 #29

Worse for workers & customers - TBF Apr 11 #59

Any Republican appointed by Trump to be in charge of anything is tasked with screwing it up to make Democrats look bad hadEnuf Apr 11 #13

Maybe thay can fire him but they should be able to reassign him to different duties without changing..... usaf-vet Apr 11 #14

Who do you think can do that? onenote Apr 11 #21

Oh so that's the deal he answers to no one. Appointed by Trump gives him the attitude that I'm untouchable. usaf-vet Apr 11 #31

He was appointed by the board of governors. He can be removed by the board of governors. onenote Apr 11 #34

So why aren't they? DET Apr 11 #44

What this poster said !!!! AND..... usaf-vet Apr 11 #53

I don't know the ins and outs of the political considerations at work, and I doubt anyone else here does. onenote Apr 11 #55

WHY CAN'T HE FIRE HIM??????? LymphocyteLover Apr 11 #22

BECAUSE OF THE LAW THAT SAYS HE CAN'T onenote Apr 11 #26

oh, right. But why can't the Board members he appointed fire deJoy? LymphocyteLover Apr 11 #37

They could. If they so chose to do so. But I suspect that politics are in play here onenote Apr 11 #39

OK, thanks LymphocyteLover Apr 12 #64
