It would be cool to put pressure on the Administration to unseat DeJoy who has progressively dismantled and privatized USPS since being appointed by Trump. Sanders and Welch could spearhead that effort. These woes aren't the result of anything local, and in fact, are being experienced all over the country. Local postal hiring has slowed because the structure of postal compensation has been altered and reduced.

It would be cool, but the issues with DeJoy have been well known for a long time now and everyone is willfully ignoring it. MLK explained the dangers of moderates quite well in his Letter From Birmingham Jail. We need to stop expecting them to be something they are not and demand better.

I don't disagree.

Actually, talking to our representatives CAN help. Hinesburg residents contacted town selectboard members and our senators and congressperson and this is the result - they're demanding answers from DeJoy. https://vtdigger.org/2023/02/17/vermonts-congressional-delegation-urges-top-us-postal-officials-to-address-statewide-mail-delays/
