So nice of him to wait until he finished crippling the system and specifically fucking with ballot deliveries and returns and helping orangeboi get in before resigning. Fucking shitbag.

He's walking away with blood all over himself.
He'll probably now lead the privatization effort from the corporate side.

Famous for trying to sabotage ballot delivery during the 2020 election to help Trump.
Appointed by Trump.
And biden didn't get rid of him... it's like the dems aren't even trying.
Biden couldn't get rid of him. Look up the process for getting a new one.
Trump is managing to get rid of whole fucking departments and Biden couldn’t get rid of a snake in a mailbox.
It does seem ludicrous, but would Biden doing things illegally be better? Everything Trump has done goes against the very principle of the country, so he's not the benchmark we need, even though he's "accomplishing" so much more by doing it wrongly.
Surely there's a middle ground between "laws don't matter" and "it's too bad we can't do anything at all". Dems don't even pretend to try.
Presidents were above the law for the final year of Biden's term.
He chose to do nothing.

Didn't they not fill seats on the board?
Biden did appoint a number of them, but there can't be more than five of a party affiliation, and removal of the PMG requires an absolute majority of those board members. The question needs to be why none or not enough of them feel he's a problem.

This is the man that decommissioned a very large percentage of our auto mail machines, good way to shit over all the USPS staff and cripple the whole system.
Would have been cool if he did that like 4 years ago.
Obviously timing to be replaced by someone even worse
And now he can use his newly padded resume to get a cushy executive job at wherever guts the remainder of the usps
He resigns, his successor oversees the privatization, he buys it up because the courts can no longer try to stop it for conflict of interests.
Fucking corporate media - they mention his ties to the GOP but omit his prior employment with ~~FedEx~~ Ed: Whoops, XPO as a commenter below pointed out.
You mean XPO?
Actually I do - I'm not certain why I misrecalled the it as FedEx.
He didn’t get the job because of his fedex experience.
May he die in obscurity and pain, and burn in hell eternally.
So they can find someone more against the USPS. Cool.
It depends on what that particular board wants to do. Biden appointed a bunch of them, so there's a chance someone decent it put in place, but it wouldn't shock me in the least if Trump replaced those that wouldn't install a Putin pick, in order to get them installed.
Seems like a play to make privatization more appealing. The big strong private sector can come to the rescue of the weak, leaderless USPS.
I ebay thrifted stuff for years and it's really bad since Trump2 started. Anything going in the middle has taken 6-8 weeks via USPS. Been doing this two decades and it would always take 2-5 business days.
They had some massive problems with the mail going through Indianapolis. Closed the airport center and moved it all to the new spot without the necessary staff to run it. It added weeks to my shipments as well.
It’d be a whole lot cooler if he died tho.
If there is a Hell, I hope Satan makes him walk a never ending postal carrier route.
And what ghoul will he pick to replace himself? Not optimistic.
While I don’t trust him, I don’t see the resignation as a good thing. I suspect he was holding back an attempt to privatize and sell off the postal service.
