Either biden didnt care about the USPS, or he actively wanted him there. Either way, this has been extremely disappointing to watch from the outside. Why did a president who was so good at getting stuff done.. fail at this one thing. Right up there with Garland and the first debate as outstanding failures in an otherwise solid presidency, in my book.

11. Biden got a lot done for the Post office by using DeJoy.

He got DeJoy to convince Republicans into voting for a bill that ended the Post Office poison pill on retirement funding.
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2023/04/usps-reform-law-sought-to-ease-financial-burdens-a-year-later-whats-changed/ Biden couldn't have done it without him. It saved the Post Office...for now.

Biden also got DeJoy to revolutionize Post Office trucks into a clean energy fleet.

Biden has done a lot of good for the Post Office by using Republican DeJoy to convince Republicans to say yes, when they would have said no to a Democratic Postmaster.

Thousands of complaints. Including mine There are no mail boxes in waking distance from me and I won't mail from the house any longer. It took a month for several piece of mail to get where it was going and many just never were delivered seemingly lost. The mailbox on the corner from my house is one he had removed in 2020. With my eyes I can't drive to the nearest box either. So I have to wait until my daughter can take me.

It was a money eater. But Biden could have dumped him after that. He needed to play a bit of hard ball.

13. Dejoy is a friggin joke

This guy is clueless as to what to do to run a business. This past year, I and many others have noticed a delay in mail delivery. I constantly get notified of incoming mail, and yet most times, it does not arrive at my mailbox until days afterwards. I have called at least a dozen times to find out what is going on. Prior to Dejoy, my mail was never late. If it said it would be there, it was there. To make matters worse, when I ask about Dejoy with postal employees, including my mail carrier, they constantly slam Dejoy for his guidance of running the Post Office. When in the hell are people going to wake up and fire this guy and replace him with competent leadership? It's totally ridiculous.And it's not getting better. He's was put in there to fix the post office, not destroy it. Plus he's been in there for years now, with no improvement at all.

14. Dejoy was to busy interfering with the election. Slowing down critical mail-in ballots stealing the elections for Djt.
