Did you hear the Postmaster General's annoncement?  He is going to 1) combine local first class mail (currently 1-2 day delivery) with other first class mail (3-5 day delviery) so our local  things will take longer to arrive! 2) going to stop airmail delivery of first class items so all will go by truck......everything will be slowed down and 3)going to increase prices again! --it's been less than a month since last increase!

With any luck, perhaps Biden will replace DeJoy, making these proposed changes moot.

Biden can't replace DeJoy, the board needs to vote him out. Biden has seats to fill on the board though and I think he could remove the current board members.

Very Interesting news/articles that I found this morning. all kinds of things about happenings for USPS. 

1st class mail for us is still only twice a week with the truck coming from the sorting station in Houston (85 miles). Amazon has not been able to give our area 2 day delivery because of this with USPS for over a year. It's been in our local news so many times but still no answers from USPS why. We also get notices from USPS tracking that a package/letter has arrived but it stays in a bag, on the loading docks till a truck comes our way, which means, it doesn't matter what the tracking states.  all this info is from our postmistress who is fed up with the constant complaints she gets and nothing she can do but keep investigating why our PO/many other area POs also getting this treatment too, isn't getting more mail delivered daily (which was procedure BC (before covid).

I get mail almost every day.  I'm lucky to have a good postal worker (George) who delivery the mail.  People in the rural areas are not getting good service form the USPS.  

Removing the Postmaster General requires an absolute majority vote of the governors in office.   Unfortunately they have no courage to remove DeJoy.  He needs to be gone!  The U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors has sole authority to hire and fire the postmaster general, the highest position in the organization. Though pressure mounts from citizens and watchdogs to remove DeJoy from his seat at the top of the agency, Biden lacks the power to do so.
