Four paragraphs from Detroit Postal Workers Union

[lostnfound]

Keith Combs, an American Postal Workers Union local president for the Detroit district, said that not only does the machine removal slow down the operation, but it also makes it a lot more difficult to keep the mail-sorting operation going There's a smaller pool of secondary machines available if another machine breaks down.
Combs said four machines have been removed in his area, and the remaining machines need to be reprogrammed to run more routes, which also increases the time it takes to process and sort the mail.
As a result, Combs says, workers are being told they need to stop running the mail-sorting machines at a certain time -- to stop any overtime accrual.
Combs has received reports from his union members that they're being told to not worry about delayed mail and to "let the mail wait to another day."

What I wonder is, which con-man company will get the contract to reprogram the machines? What of reports that there was “no mail coming“ for certain zip codes?

They are damned persistent and bold in their criminal schemes to skew the vote. Skewing the central tabulators for the voting machines is one thing — a simple multiplier will do it — but who could have imagined removing 671 million dollar pieces of equipment that taxpayers paid for to block ballots from being mailed?

1. There's also the accumulative impact of "let the mail wait another day."

Over a period of a few days, that once small or manageable pile of mail left over from the day before grows larger and more unmanageable. No overtime to catch up. Now multiply that times 80 days, and you've got a huge mess.

3. Not to mention the human fallout from what they are doing.

Things such as people not getting medications on time, not getting bills on time, not having their payments received by creditors on time, legal documents being delayed, business mail being delayed, etc. I wonder if the ads will continue to be "top priority"?

4. K & R for the folks in Blue

5. I read the post office delivers around 2 billion Christmas cards every Dec

un-dejoy is saying 150 million ballots would overwhelm the post office in Nov,
get ready to receive your last Christmas cards around Valentine's Day, since
we have no sorting machines.

6. We need a serious look at our laws in relation to presidential appointments.

I know the Board of Governors appointed DeJoy—I’m sure at Trump’s direction—but like a corporate Board of Directors they are accountable to shareholders and that would be us. We the people own the USPS. Trump has abused the power to appoint acting directors to bypass Senate approval, just as he has abused every presidential norm. Some of those norms need to be codified into law.

I’m fine with leaving some of the precedents that Trump has established in place for now. For example, he established the right of the president to avoid checks and balances by refusing to honor subpoenas and refusing to turn over any documents related to possible criminal behavior. Biden and Harris can use those precedents if Republicans retain control of the Senate because McConnell will launch every investigation he can to destroy either or both, especially Harris. Trump also established the right to go straight to the Supreme Court for resolution of challenges to his policies. Biden can do the same, though I doubt the Republican SC will jump through hoops for him as they have done for Trump.
