Summary
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) agreed to cut 10,000 jobs under pressure from Elon Musk, sparking outrage from Democrats.
Rep. Gerald Connolly warned that Musk and DOGE could push for USPS privatization, harming rural and vulnerable communities.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy defended the cuts, citing USPS’s financial struggles and praising DOGE’s cost-cutting approach. Musk has openly supported privatization.
Postal worker unions pledged to fight any threats to employees’ rights. The USPS has already reduced its workforce by 30,000 since 2021.
Do you think they care about function? Are you not already aware that destruction and mayhem are the points? These a-holes are not here to serve or help the public, they are here to cause as much damage to the US (and US interests) as possible. The wrecking-ball of Speed and Confusion are among the tactics used. The plan seems to be: once the corpse is bled and torn asunder, it’ll get divvied out to the other richer a-holes (donor class) waiting for their cut whilst the US as a superpower is severely diminished or wiped out. Unfortunately for all involved, it appears to be working.
