“#The left\u2019s lunatic \u2018postal\u2019 conspiracy theory<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n At this rate, Postmaster General<\/a> Louis DeJoy will be lucky if he isn\u2019t arrested and tried for treason before a people\u2019s tribunal.<\/p>\n

DeJoy has quickly replaced Vladimir Putin as the man that progressive opinion will hold responsible if Trump wins a second term in November.<\/p>\n

According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DeJoy is a \u201ccomplicit crony\u201d aiding Trump\u2019s effort to sabotage American democracy. She believes the two have hatched a plot to delay mail-in voting and disenfranchise countless Americans prior to the election.<\/p>\n

Protesters over the weekend showed up at DeJoy\u2019s Washington apartment and North Carolina home. Two Democratic congressmen have called for a criminal inquiry into his changes at the postal service, and he will testify at a House hearing next week.<\/p>\n

In tried and true fashion, President Trump has stoked suspicions by saying that he opposes a $25 billion postal-service bailout in the latest Democratic COVID-relief bill. According to Trump, blocking this measure \u2014 and $3 billion in election aid to the states \u2014 will prevent universal mail-in voting.<\/p>\n

But the bailout doesn\u2019t have anything to do with mail-in voting, and given the billions of pieces of mail handled by the post office every week, it surely can handle the increased volume from mail-in voting.<\/p>\n

It is true that Postmaster General DeJoy is a major Trump donor. He made his fortune in shipping and logistics, though, and he was selected by the postal service\u2019s board of governors.<\/p>\n

Little did he know when he took over the agency in June that he\u2019d soon have a starring role in the country\u2019s latest psychodrama. Every change at the postal service is now seen through the prism of a belief that the agency is a tool of creeping authoritarianism.<\/p>\n

Letter collection boxes are being removed \u2014 never mind that this has been an ongoing process for years. Underused boxes are decommissioned or moved to higher-traffic areas. In 2009, The Washington Post reported that 200,000 boxes had been shelved over the prior two decades. In 2016, the inspector general noted that another 12,000 collection boxes had been cut over the previous five years.<\/p>\n

Letter collection boxes all of the sudden have big red locks on them \u2014 well, yeah, as an off-hours device to prevent the theft of mail, something the service has also done for years.<\/p>\n

The postal service is deactivating mail-sorting machines \u2014 right, and there was a plan for this prior to DeJoy becoming postmaster general, and it has been long discussed in response to the declining volume of mail.<\/p>\n

DeJoy is cutting back on overtime \u2014 indeed he is, because artificially swollen overtime is an enormous expense that he hopes to eliminate with a more rational delivery system.<\/p>\n

Democrats and much of the media<\/a> make it sound as though the post office was an efficient, smooth-running agency before DeJoy took charge and then, at Trump\u2019s behest, transformed it into place struggling to keep up with broad-based changes in how we communicate.<\/p>\n

In reality, the post office has lost nearly $80 billion since 2007, and it lost more than $2 billion last quarter. Unless the service finds a way to innovate, it is headed for bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

This is the impetus for DeJoy\u2019s reforms, which should be welcomed by all the people now caterwauling about how essential the post office is to the American way of life.<\/p>\n

DeJoy has been adamant that the postal service will do its job regarding mail-in ballots. The post office\u2019s recent warnings to states that they should be mindful of how quickly ballots can be delivered were played up as yet another assault on mail-in balloting. To the contrary, they were intended to avoid unrealistically late deadlines for mail-in voting that could create a train-wreck in November.<\/p>\n

But in their inflamed state, Democrats want a villain \u2014 if not a foreign potentate, then the guy in charge of delivering the mail.<\/p>\n
