the Dejoy act
A group of House Democrats on Friday introduced legislation to prohibit
the Postal Service from lengthening mail-delivery windows and require it to adhere to present service expectations. They named the bill the Delivering Envelopes Judiciously On-time Year-round Act, or DEJOY Act. |

I just don't think DeJoy is the guy to do it by slowing down the mail. |

Easy to blame but that's not it. Things worked well until enlarged competition from UPS and Fedex, and email. Everything worked a lot better until Dejoy got appointed. |

The USPS also wanted a rate increase but Congress said "no" so they lose money. They also have to prepay some retirement benefits that industry does no have do So far, I've only seen DeJoy do stupid things and try to slow mail in ballots. |

If you actually looked at the price of sending mail you'd have seen that, with the notable exception of the basic one ounce #10 business envelope, whose price has has crept up at roughly the rate of inlation, just about _all_ the other USPS rates have gone up _dramatially_ in the past decade. They've chosen to keep the highly visible "one ounce" standard envelope charge pretty stable, but as to the others? hahahah. Plus, of course, lots of surcharges for this, that, and all the other things. -- __________________________________________________ ___ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] |
