Congress has finally come through to save the USPS (1 Viewer)

After all the years of crying for help, followed by the current Postmaster General trying to make its deathbed, Congress has finally come through to save the Postal Service from becoming insolvent. Key to the reform finally signed into law today is removal that archaic requirement forcing the USPS to fund health insurance for workers so far in advance.

It also requires six-day delivery; DeJoy can now forget that pipe dream of his to cut that. Good day and a good bill with bipartisan support.

Well... I love to see the logic behind cutting jobs and sorting centers will make the USPS better and more efficient...

I know that Biden can't summarily fire him, but can't they put him on "HR Watch" like companies do with unwanted leadership?
Any unwanted touch, any visit to BustyAsianBabes.com, a dollar out of place in an expense report gets him perp-walked out the door.

This may be the case that shows whether or not Trump will follow what the judicial branch says.

I think that the odds are not good for either the SCOTUS blocking this or for Trump to bow to the derision if they do.
