postmaster is selected by a BOARD, NOT by potus, so it's complicated.

The postmaster general is selected and appointed by the governors, the members of which had been appointed by the president of the United States with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, on the Board of Governors of the Postal Service. The postmaster general then also sits on the board.[3] The appointment of the postmaster general does not require Senate confirmation.[4][5] The governors and the postmaster general elect the deputy postmaster general.

... the Post Office. I understand he's a butthole in private, also.

I love the Post Office and just like VA, there's no way to privatize and have it be the service it needs to be.

Even FedEx and UPS sends tons of their stuff through the Post Office.

I love the US Post Office!

It's under some magazines somewhere.
It's in crayon, on the back of a napkin.
I'd also like him to provide an example of a successful restructuring, as part of his business research, where the first step was to reduce service quality to the customers. Punishing the customers seems the last thing any successful business would do. Not the first.

Make the case absolutely clear that DeJoystick was installed simply to do tRump's evil bidding, not to actually make the USPS a more efficient operation. Then get some new folks on the board who will vote to fire his rotten ass. Then install someone qualified who will restore the USPS to its former self or take measures to actually improve it...

Ron Bloom's term expired last Dec, plus there are 3 vacancies. The next term ending is not til this December, so when Biden fills that, that will give his appointees a 5-4 edge to fire DeJoy.
