This "expert" is a hack. The real reason the postal service isn't so profitable is because of G.W. Bush's Postal Acountability and Enhancement Act. The bill forces the USPS to pay postal workers retirement funds in advance. For every employee they hire, they have to pay retirement before they work a week. Before that, the postal service was profitable. During the hearings, Dejoy mentions that some of the delays are due to a lack of staff. Dejoy is the one who halted all hiring. He also halted overtime and multiple trips that was to ensure mail was delivered on time. Now that he stopped that, there are dead livestock and rotten food that didn't make it on time. His removal of machines means it will take longer to sort through mail. And BS to the idea that Covid's effects couldnt be foreseen. Its called covid 19 because it was discovered at the end of 2019. American intelligence knew about it as early as last December. It began affecting the states in February. States began restricting travel in April. He didn't think that would effect the postal service? People depend on the postal service. Now that many people are staying home and getting products delivered, having maximum productivity is more important than ever. His inexperienced ass is trying to ruin the election.
Shouldn’t the new machine comes before the old one is dumped?
🆘Liberal incompetent basement Democrat Joe Biden & Kamala Harris platform for 2020. Nothing I want do you?
1. Raise everyone’s $taxes$
2. Open borders
3. More sanctuary cities
4. More $defunding$ of police departments and give them squirt guns and take the real guns away.
5. Mail in voting that leads to voter fraud in every state.
6. More funding of evil baby killing abortion.
7. More occupied zones in major cities like – Chops Settle & Portland.
8. Transgender bathrooms everywhere in public.
9. Cuts in military spending.
10. Ban on oil drilling & fracking equals much higher gas prices.
11. More regulations put back on businesses.
12. A Stock market crash if Biden & Democrats Win. That’ll be a guarantee. Jill Biden is now Joe Biden‘s daily baby sitter and will be running the White House if enough people are dumb enough to elect a man with early Senility & Alzheimer’s disease. All sad but true. President Trump 🇺🇸 gets my conservative Democrat vote ðŸâ€â€Ã‚³
Nojoy needs to go! And the sorting machines need to stay!
LOOK OUT!!!!! First Class Mail is now being treated as BULK Mail!!! This is according to the US POST OFFICE. Don't expect ballets to be delivered on time as First Class Mail……
Go ahead and back pedal with your lies…
Removal of boxes ongoing for 10 years , bull pucks
Homeland security just wants the heat off of their own back
> lap…
I see a bunch of TDS babies in here throwing a fit because the democrat's false narrative just got destroyed. They swung and missed by a mile like always. Democrat leaders need to stop fabricating crap then spoon feeding it to government dependent babies that hate the private sector their tax revenue comes from.
Rick Geddes is a privatization stooge and ABC should feel ashamed of themselves for platforming such a dishonest actor.
THE POST OFFICE IS NOT A BUSINESS!
IT'S A CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED PUBLIC SERVICE!
TRUMPET HIRED THE BEST CRININALS AND PAID BIMBOS
Frank from Breaking Bad has decided to break bad
Why now??
Lock him up!
This was a horrible interview, he sounds like Trump people. He said the post general is doing a great job when mail has been coming in late since he made changes. How is that a good job? Stop interviewing Trump people because they always sound stupid along with the person interviewing them.
USPS Workers steal our business mail. I want $50M compensation for all the lost business, financial hardships, stress and terror!!!! No, Nancy Pelosi, Postal Workers aren’t get more money but rather are going to prison!
It would be better if the government allowed the post office to go bankrupt at this point. Allow them to restructure without the weight of labor union contracts.

MR. LOUIS DEJOY SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AND CHARGED FOR THE DAMAGED HE HAS DONE WITH THE INTENTION TO DISENFRANCHISED VOTERS ALL OVER THE NATION.
A BIG POSSIBILITIES MANY MAIL IN BALLOTS WON'T BE COUNTED AND BECOME DISENFRANCHISED.
THIS IS A PLAIN AND SIMPLE: VOTERS SUPPRESSION !
DEJOY IS TRUMP'S MINION AND HIS USPS POLICY CHANGES WITH HIS INEXPERIENCE IN THE POSITION OBVIOUSLY AFFECTED ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE ESPECIALLY THE SENIORS.
THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PREMEDITATED ATTEMPT – THINKING HE CAN HELP TRUMP WIN THE ELECTION AND THIS CROOK WILL NATURALLY DENY IT !
JUST THINK ABOUT IT…..
HERE'S THE BIG QUESTION:
WHY THIS BONE HEAD WILL DISMANTLE SORTING MACHINE AND REMOVE MANY MAIL BOXES DURING PANDEMIC TIME AND MOST ESPECIALLY ON ELECTION TIME ?!
PROFESSOR WHY IS THERE THIS URGENT AND CRITICAL NEED TO RESTRUCTURE THE POSTAL SERVICES IN THE WAYS IT JUST DID 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTIONS ? WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER TO HAVE THIS DONE IN JANUARY ? YOUR PREFERNCE IS GOING TO ADD MORE TO THE CURRENT CONTROVERSY.

Acts 2:38-39 ESV
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

This guy is a fat liar.
The fix is in for Trump, he is a disgusting corrupted criminal and can't win anything without cheating.
How can we mail our ballots in "Early" when the ballot forms won't be mailed to us until a week before they are supposed to be returned for counting. This is CRAZY — this is Trump's way to steal the election by wrecking the post office!
The Dems have already lost the election. The only question left to answer is how big the President's and down-ballot Republicans' victory margins will be…
Hey Citizenry, Bannon is rich. He will not make a deal because in 24 months, POTUS-45 will pardon Bannon. Case closed.
November 3rd, 2020 go vote Biden-Harris. They are not perfect. However, much better than a psychopath.
Dejoy is just one more entitled rich morally bankrupt monster that wants to have one person do the job of 10 then whines and tries to brow beat the overworked underpaid employee when they in fact can NOT load a whole postal truck by themselves in the time given to them. This complete FOOL seriously thought he could turn the Postal system into another American corporation where people are worked like dogs but not paid as well until they get too exhausted and sick to continue and he kicks them to the curb and hires the next person for even less pay. I bet he supports "Right to work" garbage as well. RESIGN DEJOY!!!
I'm dropping off my mail-in vote for SLEEPY JOE in person!!!

Do you think you are born again just because you go to a church? Not all churches declare the Truth. On the contrary, your church could be a completely worldly church. For your own soul, you must come out of the churches that use the Bible but do not declare the Truth and speak lies differing from the bible. Hear what the Spirit of Truth says to the churches and receive the eternal gospel!!
We can go everywhere else Home Depot, Walmart and the post office. Safe enough to do those things, but not safe enough.to go vote?
