The USPS story bears repetition, as Margaret Sullivan promptly does:
“Things are already going wrong,” Philip F. Rubio, an expert on the Postal Service and history professor at North Carolina A&T State University (and a former letter carrier himself), told Politico. There are “widespread mail slowdowns of all kinds of mail — first-class, marketing mail, parcels. Even the Veterans’ Administration has complained that veterans are not getting their medications on time.”
And I will repeat my previous thoughts:
Endangerment. Seeing as many medicines are now delivered via USPS, citizens who cannot leave their abodes and, for whatever reason, are isolated from pharmacies, such as in rural areas, will now have their life-saving medicines delayed, as has already been documented. DeJoy should be arrested and criminally charged with malicious endangerment by one of the states. (I wonder what would happen if a Change.org petition calling for that action were to appear.)
A lawsuit should be filed by parties with standing.
