Dejoy just said he isn't reinstalling dismantled machines.

[live love laugh]

Trump’s repeatedly said the Postal Service can’t handle mail in ballots and yet he’s reduced capacity.

Illinois has had 13 mail sorting machines removed. The sortation capability lost is approximately 1/2 million pieces of mail every hour; 4 million pieces per 8 hour shift and 8 million fewer pieces a day over two shifts.

2. Did he say why?

This is unacceptable.

6. We know why: Putin told him to cripple USPS.

Plus, he's heavily invested in private competitors to USPS.

3. He didn't follow GAO procedures, and thus committed a federal crime. N/T

4. Like I said in another post, are they arguing that sorting by hands are faster than machines?

The whole argument that it is to save cost is such a BS lie. Cutting overtime is fine in that narrative but taking away the sorting machine never fit or make any sense.

I know republican or the MBA type love to increase people's production per hour (but what it basically does is require people to work volunteer unpaid overtime). But taking away the sorting machine does none of it, other than slowing the sorting efficiency.
