This underscores the conflict of interest of Dejoy in that position.   Unethical and corrupt. 
Unfortunate that appointment of the PMG doesn't get congressional review,  but is done by the board of governors.   They are appointed,  and AFAICT all by the current "president. "   The USPS site says no more than five of the nine governors can be of the same political party.   And are appointed with advise and consent of... the Senate.   
 The other two members of the board are the PMG and the deputy PMG.  Hmm.

I see you did a hasty google search on the structure of the USPS.
Spend some more time and review the credentials of DeJoy and tell us why his appointment is “ unethical and corrupt.”

How about he and his wife have financial interests in companies that are in competition with USPS

Which proves what?

and they consume the flesh of aborted babies?

I bet your family is proud of you for that.

People are saying they have unusual habits and that their financial interests and investments facilitate their, um peccadilloes.

What people?

Some of the most knowledgeable people. People with tremendous credentials who are said to have inside info.

Name one

The report is being prepared as we speak. The investigators have rock solid evidence.

I’m sure they do.
Send it first class mail.

All will be revealed in time and everyone will be amazed!

Red thinks sabotaging the USPS and suppressing the vote is funny stuff.

Doesn't matter how many people are hurt by not getting meds, or benefit checks or other important correspondence on time, or what collateral damage is done to the country by the fascist wannabe dictator.

Red's a real patriot.

Trump pushed forward a megadonor to his campaign.

Ah!  I must have missed your objections to Billionaire Penny Pritzker 

]   Already addressed DeJ's actions and conflicts of interest, as did Larry,

There is no conflict of interest

The post was in regard to the situation described in the Guardian report.  DeJoy, who made a fortune in shipping and logistics and whose former company was a contractor of the Postal Service for many years, as the new postmaster general.

I see. So being successful in the shipping business while a contractor with the Postal Service makes it unethical to head the USPS after one retires?

Can’t wait for your response on that one.

You falsely cut/paste an incomplete quote from the Guardian as if it's part of my post.   And the snippet doesn't include the key facts i and others pointed you to.   This is so dishonest that... well,  we're done.

Coronavirus is spreading in schools, but the federal government isn't keeping count
Researchers say the absence of a comprehensive accounting is hampering efforts to identify which safety practices can best protect students and teachers.

Today we've been informed that Google is allegedly still gathering data/tracking from our Android phones downunder even when all the settings for that are switched off.

4. The Haunting of Ohio House

When a group of Ohio State University students moved into a house together, they thought they were living the dream. But the house was kind of odd. When they came home, things would smell strange or appliances would be turned on, even though all the roommates insisted they were off. When they heard mysterious noises from the basement, the students investigated.

It turns out their house wasn’t haunted, but that might have been preferable to the reality. There was a locker in the basement. It led to a secret room with a bed, textbooks, and even framed pictures. Someone was living in the house, using the common areas, and sleeping there at night without any of the other roommates knowing.

The squatter, Jeremy, lived in the house last year and simply hadn’t ever left. But that’s not even the worst part: the students say that the landlords never changed the locks or even asked for keys that said “Do Not Duplicate.” For all they know, dozens of people can come and go as they please, free to roam the place they once wanted to call home.

White people should ‘give up their homes’

15th Aug 2020

A group of Black Lives Matter protesters in Seattle marched through a residential neighbourhood this week demanding that white residents give up their homes, dramatic video shows.

Footage of the Wednesday demonstration posted to Twitter shows a crowd of dozens chanting "Black lives matter" before an unidentified man projects his ire toward nearby white residents - saying they are living in a historically black section of the city as another woman in the crowd yells that they should "give up" their homes, the clip shows.

"Do you know that before your white ass came here, this was all black people?" the man says. "Do you know people like you came in here and basically bought all the land from the black people for less than what it was worth, kicked them out so you could live here? Do you know that?"

A woman with a megaphone then urges the residents to "give up" their house, the footage shows.

“Give up your house. Give Black people back their homes.” “what are you going to do about it?

"Give black people back their homes!" she yells. "You're sitting there comfortably - comfortable as f - k as if they didn't help gentrify this neighbourhood! I used to live in this neighbourhood, and my family was pushed out, and you're sitting up there having a good time with your other white friends!"

#####

In this case, what is the right thing for the White people to do?

Michelle was brilliant, so good, so on target, she stayed high and still managed to portray what an amoral piece of shit Trump is, and how unfit he is for the job.

She nutted him.

About those postal sorting machine removals:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/16/politics/usps-documents-sorting-machine-removal-order/index.html

Sounds like most of them had been scheduled to be removed by the end of last month.

But not all.

LOL!
Never pass up an opportunity to foster a conspiracy theory.

I think it's open to question as to how much effect that measure has.

It comes as a shock to you that a business with a huge decrease in demands for its services decides to cut costs by eliminating high cost machines?
Your biggest problem is you don’t understand our 50 state election process. It is the job of election officials to educate themselves on common sense. Asking the USPS to process absentee ballot requests on the Friday before a Tuesday election  and expecting the voter to get their ballot back to be counted within five days(one of which is Sunday) is begging for trouble.
The post office doesn’t need tons of extra help nor more machines it needs more TIME to process the ballots 
 

Red is giving kid a hard run for Elba's village idiot.

And kid is a 12-time defending champ.

The bolded statement might be the singularly dumbest and misinformed thought on business strategy ever posted in Elba, and there has been tons of it. .

Now companies may delay capex to reduce expenses and conserve capital, but they do not shit-can highly automated machines presumably paid for and most likely fully depreciated (that means no depreciation charge against income Red) that perform functions at a fraction of the cost and multiples of the speed that human labor will presumably perform the same task.

Red machines generally are more efficient than people at most repetitive tasks, like sorting billions of pieces of mail in a timely manner.

Congrasts Red you are truly a fucking idiot.

I look forward to future Red talks on the 50 state election laws with which he no doubt is an expert on.


Just more 3-card Donnie from Red.

Banks, As small as Elba is you would think it would be impossible to have three genuine village idiots here. But three they are.

Deej-I'm at a loss for words. Kid has earned the title for over a decade, but Red's stunnning combination of ignorance, arrogance and dishonesty makes him a triple-threat favorite to knock the fool from the stool and claim Elba's dunce cap.

 But then she dropped “It is what it is...”

That was like a Marvel “THOOM!”

Because God is caught up in a pissing contest with The Donald.

She served this country with dignity and intelligence for 8 years. she's more than entitled to take a less public role.

But she's still relatively young she may find her own way to make America great again.

And I'm sure you had high expectations for Michelle Obama.
