    USPS sucks

    Ordered some items on January 3. Shipped out of Memphis on Jan. 6, and arrived at Missouri City, Texas. Never mind why a package destined for NH got sent to Texas, whatever.

    Now it took 8 days to get from Missouri City TX to Houston. Another 6 days to go from Houston to NORTH Houston.

    Now it's back in Missouri City.

    I figure tomorrow it'll be back in Memphis.

    Is this one of those things where the GOP destroys something and then says, "See? We must privatize it!"

      DeJoy us certainly trying to.

      Really can't believe Biden has left him in charge....

        Biden can't do anything about it. The USPS is an independent agency that is insulated from the executive by statute, because you don't want politicians just taking over the mail.

        They have to wait for the board of governors members' terms to come up and axe the Dump hacks. Congress can do that because they control the House. But they can't just kick a guy off. So, Biden wins re-election, the Dems control the House, and then gradually we weed out the finks. Once we get a majority of the board they can fire DeJoy that evening.

            According to Wiki, there are nine governor positions. Seven are filled, two are sitting vacant waiting for Biden to fill them. Of the seven filled positions, five were appointed by Biden, two by Trump.
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              If that is true then I got nothin'.

              Edit: it appears 3 of those 5 Biden members are still just nominees, not voting members. After their appointments, we will have a majority and flush DeJoy down DeToilet.

              Edit edit: no, I am wrong, that article is from 2021. I have no idea now. I guess it is possible Manchin and Sinema have blocked those nominees.

              Edit edit edit: OK, I went to the Wikipedia page, which I should have in the first place. One of Biden's nominees was, unaccountably, a Republican (and a former McConnell ally and Dump supporter). So, why would Biden knuckle under and appoint a fasc to keep DeJoy's reign of error going?

              Here's somebody very unhappy to vent about it. Skullduggery in a part of the forest I have no insight into.

              Above all, Kan’s nomination is a misguided decision by Biden to adhere to outdated political norms by tapping a Republican to balance out a Democrat’s concurrent nomination. As mentioned earlier, while federal law limits the number of concurrently-serving governors from the same party to a total of five, the USPS board’s current composition (excluding vacancies) is of three Republicans (all Trump appointees), three Democrats (one Trump appointee and two Biden picks), and Biden-appointed independent Amber McReynolds, a vote-by-mail advocate. Biden would have been well within the law to fill both the Bloom and Barger vacancies with reform-oriented Democrats (giving the board a five-member Biden-appointed majority that could potentially oust DeJoy). Instead, he chose to adhere to Senate norms of pairing Tangherlini, a Democratic nominee, with Kan, a Republican (and a Trump/McConnell alum, no less!). Given how Mitch McConnell spent the Trump years blowing up these norms by refusing to nominate and confirm minority-party commissioners, this is an utterly baffling choice. While going ***-for-tat with McConnell’s escalation would be a major step requiring unanimous support from Senate Democrats, it’s worth noting that even the Senate Democratic Caucus’ least reliable members have opposed DeJoy’s leadership and voted for anti-DeJoy board nominees like Stroman.
              Another case of the Dems playing by democratic norms while the GOP Nazis cackle and burn the Reichstag, I guess.

                  I sent an anniversary card to my niece and her husband on 9/28/23. It did not arrive, but my niece has an app which tells her what mail was arriving, and it showed up on that list after a few days. She noticed that I wrote the zip code as 11377 instead of 11577. Besides for that, the address was correct. (Can I blame it on George Santos?) It came back to me last week.

                    So when I first posted this four days ago, my package, which after leaving Memphis, went through Missouri City TX, on to Houston, North Houston, and then back to Missouri City.

                    In the four days since, it has gone from Missouri City to Coppell Tx, back to North Houston, and is now sitting in Houston. Again.

                    I guess next it's back to Missouri City.

                        Packages and letters sent to Germany are taking months to arrive, because they spend forever still in the US. Once they arrive in Germany, it's 2 days until delivery, but it takes 6 weeks to go from Minnesota to a flight over here.
