Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night can stop the U.S. Postal Service, but the mismanagement of former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy just might.
Although DeJoy resigned this spring, the U.S. Postal Service continues to follow his failed “Delivering for America” plan into ruin.
There is no doubt that DeJoy’s 2021 Delivering for America plan has been a total disaster. It kicked off sharp stamp and postage rate increases twice per year at amounts far above inflation – something that had never been done throughout the Postal Service’s 250-year history. Still following DeJoy’s foolish plan, the Postal Service is plotting yet another massive price hike this July.
Not only are postal officials making mail prohibitively expensive for consumers and businesses alike, but they are also making mail services increasingly slow and unreliable. As a result, the Postal Service is hemorrhaging customers – and we’re not even halfway through DeJoy’s 10-year plan.
