The DeJoy plan is working

[Thunderbeast]

We needed a boilerplate letter from Social Security in order to secure an apartment for my homeless son. The web site did not work (another story) so he called the SS office and requested paper letters for confirmation. His request includes award letters from two offices. Both letters were produced and mailed twenty days ago. The first letter just arrived. The second letter is still missing.

First class mail SHOULD NOT take twenty days. I understand that DeJoy has ordered all mail to travel by truck rather than air. Perhaps the USPS plans to re-introduce "AIR MAIL" as a premium service.

This intentional slowdown of first class mail will have a huge impact on all kinds of commerce. I see banks salivating at the opportunity to collect late fees on mailed payments.

1. Small Potatoes Here

but did not receive even one of the BD cards that I know were sent.

2. Just more destruction of our country by Right wing hacks.

Oh well, just another day of America, slip sliding away!

3. My mail in ballot just arrived

To late for me to mail it back, I have covid and I have to go out on Sunday, the only day near me, and take it to a drop off box

10. That sucks...

Sorry to hear you have COVID *AND* that you are being forced to go out to exercise your right to vote. You shouldn't have to do that. The RW plan is chugging along, right on schedule, isn't it? *sigh*

Well, I hope you don't feel too poorly and I hope you get better soon.

19. Thanks! I called and called about my ballot too

4. There were already slower classes of mail.

I've noticed much slower mail, less "junk", and received solicitations to use online payment from most of my bills.

I used to be able to get a Netflix disc on Wednesday, watch it, put it in the mail Thursday and receive another disc Saturday. That was returned Monday then I would get the Wednesday disc. For years, consistently 2 per week and I could plan around that.

Now I can get a disc Friday or Saturday, and even though it is put in the mail at the PO on Monday, rarely will one show up by the next saturday. It's not the fault of Netflix, they made adjustments to speed up their end, it's that asshole DeJoy whose removal process should have been started 9 months ago.

7. Netflix still does discs?

I had no idea.

[IronLionZion]

18. Yup, they have way more stuff on DVD/BluRay than streaming

[PortTack]

5. The last dejoyless hold out is done the first part of Dec. when President Biden names someone

He will be out!

[OMGWTF]

14. YESSSS!!!

[IronLionZion]

16. Aww Yisss

I dream of the day when I will have no idea who the postmaster general is because the mail will simply be delivered correctly without any "GOP efficiency"

[sarcasmo]

6. Until No Joy is gone, I send everything UPS.

[lagomorph777]

8. He is a big stockholder in UPS and FedEx.

So you're making him happy. His plan is working.

[sarcasmo]

9. Least my shipments arrive on time.

[SergeStorms]

11. My Insurance Co. wants me to get scrips by mail.

There's not a chance in hell that will ever happen.

Even at the best of times they came late. I'd die before my Meds came through the USPS system now, and it's not the fault of USPS employees.

Well, it's the fault of one employee!

12. Try Fed Ex Too Ordered A Part Was 30 Miles Away 3 Days Ago

Says potentially delayed.

My customer needs his machine fixed.

Welcome to the New Covid-19 World!

17. Twitter has started posting pics of ridiculous FedEx tracking

Two weeks to go 100 miles, bizarre zig zags, and holdovers in remote desert towns with 5 buildings, half of which are there for the power & comms relay yard.

13. Grover Norquist must be thrilled. Hell, Ronnie's probably got a stiffy in the grave. n/t

[IronLionZion]

15. Maybe they'll bring back the pony express

they still use mule trains in some areas like Supai Arizona.

Since trucks can't get to Australia we should try sending messages in bottles and train kangaroos to pick them and carry them in their pouch. But DeJackass decided to stop service to an entire country.

USPS is short staffed with DeJoyless probably slow rolling attempts to recruit or hire new workers.

20. This boxed highlighted note is on top of my Bank of America bank account now:

21. DeJoystick fucking sucks

And fuck the Slobfather for putting that corrupt, crooked piece of shit in charge of our USPS. FUCK THEM BOTH. DEJOYSTICK BETTER BE BOOTED OUT IN DECEMBER.
