It is extremely clear why this is happening. By reducing the efficacy of the USPS, they can delegitimize it. Then when voting time comes they can say "Hey look, they couldn't even get you your package, what makes you think that the the USPS can safely and securely handle your vote". And guess what, they'd be right because the USPS won't be able to do it safely b/c they actively ruined it. This has been the common tactic of the republicans for a long time and it is continuing to work.

- olivermarks 6y agoAgain, disregarding politics why is the USPS, which is well funded and overwhelmed with business delivering Amazon and Shopify packages, downsizing? This isn't a federal directive is it? You would think they would be expanding to meet demand. It could just be that the monopoly online retail business models that broke the high street are now breaking the post office too. hiring a non postal service ceo/pmg sounds like a terrible idea also https://federalnewsnetwork.com/management/2020/07/usps-warns-staff-of-temporary-mail-delays-as-it-cuts-soaring-delivery-costs/ https://federalnewsnetwork.com/management/2020/07/usps-warns...
