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.
He fucked it up in 2024 as well. My wifes overseas ballot is still „stuck“ in customs (why would a ballot go to customs in the first place?)
Also fuck USPS for not allowing us to open a case to get compensation because we don‘t have a US adress.
