Remember when Biden was like “I can’t fire DeJoy, that would be ILLEGAL”?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I don't think he could fire dejoy but biden had open seats on the panel that could fire dejoy but he just never filled them so now we are here where we are probably gonna lose the usps which is one of the most important organizations in the government

yeah. I mean even I get annoyed when folks are like. He should act like a dictator to stop the dictator but I sorta feel like somehow he could have figured that one out despite the way its runs by a board that then elect dejoy based on its makeup. thing is though the ignoring of norms like this does just destroy functional government which is ultimately what they sorta want. oh look stuff does not work because we make it not work so we need to privatize it all.
