He was installed in a way that makes it difficult to remove him. It was all part of a larger, systematic plan to destabilize the PO in the long term (and voting by mail in the short term) for the eventual privatization of the PO. But the PO is specifically established in the Constitution, so not sure it could be privatized. In any case, I will be delighted to see his replacement.

I herd about this a lot earlier in the year and am annoyed by the fact that mail is going to take a 4 days to a week to get to it’s destanation in the united states. I wish they can find other ways to do things beside slowing down the postal system.

Argh, it looks like it’s another round of letters to my Congress people. Probably won’t chance anything but as long as we keep raising a ruckus outside of the forum it’ll show them that we are paying attention and holding them accountable
