The top states for removals per capita are Delaware, South Dakota, DC, Tennessee and North Dakota. Those are not battleground states the last time I checked. The suggestion that this is concentrated in swing states is wrong, full stop, and pretty irresponsible IMO.
It was a Mnuchin takeover with no Democrat board members involved and sounds like it's really all about making USPS as grueling a place to work as an Amazon fullfillment center while making Bezos pay more and long-known "inefficiencies" (i.e., service not required of its competitors without much higher prices) removed
At DeJoy’s New Breed, speed reigned supreme, but that took a toll. Workers described a grueling environment where taking a break could cost you your job. DeJoy has imported the same culture of rigidity to his work at USPS, with different results. https://t.co/qpA0kxYWM5
p.s., i.e., next step might be: if you want better faster service from the USPS, you gotta pay for it, like a "Prime" membership. DeJoy is a logistics expert, and he really knows about competing with Amazon in the game:
[....] Mr. DeJoy, 63, had transformed his father’s Long Island trucking company from a small shop with 10 employees into a national logistics and supply-chain provider that won lucrative contracts with Boeing, Verizon and the Postal Service. By 2014, around the time that he sold it XPO for $615 million, the company had about 7,000 employees.
That kind of growth came at a cost. In the logistics industry, speed is supreme. New Breed Logistics competed with Amazon in the hustle to deliver products to people’s homes as fast as possible. In pursuit of that goal, New Breed Logistics pushed their workers to extremes, according to a New York Times investigation published in 2018.
The company’s warehouse in Memphis offered a glimpse into the grueling culture that played out under Mr. DeJoy’s leadership.[....]
Is not the socialist "every customer equal service for same price" ethos of the USPS
