This page contains data entry 95069 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

DeJoy was an appointee of DJT as we may recall. He was a major player with "XPO Logistics" who has had multiple contracts with USPS. DeJoy still has a multi-million dollar stake in his former company but I am told he has recused himself for awarding any sub-contract jobs to outside vendors to mitigate any appearances of conflict of interest.

Recall he was put into office right around the time of the 2020 election nightmare beginning and the controversial ballot drop boxes being singled out by the GOP as major sources of potential voter fraud and La De Da. DeJoy then became entwined with the changing of those box locations, the dismantling of mail sorting equipment then used by USPS to more efficiently use automation to process and letters, circulars and packages

Also at this time DeJoy began raising prices across the board. What was once .35 cents to may was now .50 cents and the cheap opportunity of shipping packages overseas on the cheap ended quick. Also the prospect of fudging article description and value declarations on shipped items overseas was over. You declared the truthful value of description of goods "herein" or you risked the wrath of the USPS and Federal Government enforcement agencies.

DeJoy was in a "mell of a hess". He'd been tapped by DJT who thinks he can turn anything profitable. Now we know how he may have done that thus we find that he wasn't the business whiz kid he claimed to be. That aside DeJoy was told that the USPS should turn a buck and with those marching orders he has held the task of making that happen. I haven't heard a word about Biden involvement in the situation of USPS and I guess Biden knows where the USPS is located and what it does.

I agree with other posts herein that the USPS does not need to turn a profit to be an assist to American Society. Departments of Defense, Health & Human Resources, Interior, National Security, Foreign Relations, Department of Justice and on and on are not required to turn a profit. So why should USPS' mission be any different. As long as they do break even what's the fuss. But the problem is that USPS is still, some four years after DeJoy was appointed running well into the "RED".

"The U.S. Postal Service today announced its financial results for the 2023 fiscal year ended September 30. The net loss totaled $6.5 billion, compared to net income of $56.0 billion for the prior year." So this proves that USPS can be operated at a profit but now we are faced with the desire of modern humanity wanting to shun written communications in favor of immediate electronic interaction with one another. There has to be some winners and losers in that equation and I'm afraid USPS could be one of the BIG Losers.

I myself pay all my bills on line, no more mail ins, no more lost mail pieces and no more late delivery and the chance of incurring $35.00 late fees. Also even though this is not a 1st Class item but a mere 3-4th Class mailing, I trash ALL Junk mail. I don't even peruse the stuff. Pure time waster for me. Packages another story as some vendors mask the cost of shipping and handling and others delineate the cost of goods with the cost of S&H. Then companies like Walmart have some items that ship free and others that required a $6.95 shipping fee. Sometimes that may be waived if you meet a minimum purchase amount.

I know the reasoning the Congress is wanting to skip one more USPS rate hike probably lies in the belief that only the less fortunate members of our society may actually still depend on first class mails thus making anymore future hikes implausible, a hardship and so on. And I'm sure it is and legitimately so. Also we have a situation where First Class Mail sales fell 6.1% in 2023 and is down 53% from 2006, but revenue from first-class mail increased by $515 million, or 2.1%, because of higher stamp prices.

So it's a mixed bag of wins and losses by USPS thus far but one thing is for sure, it takes a load of money to keep any operation running in the modern world today. Thought processes, management, costs, profit and loss has to be reevaluated almost by the week anymore to make an annual profit seem reasonable anymore. A true redefinition and the USPS Mission may have to be put in play again. This certainly ain't 1737 and we aren't the US Post Service operating under British control.

I still think a reaffirmation and mission definition of USPS needs to take place determining its role should be interpreted as and once that's done, we might then be able to establish whether or not the entity should be a "for Profit" or a "Non-Profit" operation.
