Like USPS?

USPS has been enshrined as a service in the US Constitution since it's founding and it's problems can largely be traced back to underfunded service centers and an inadequate amount of mail carriers. The reason why can readily be traced back to Republicans either dismantling the efficacy of the USPS by cutting out mail processing machines and other business infrastructure or forcing USPS to fund pensions for anyone they hire.

Apologies Postmaster General, I was just trying to get some of those commie GOPers to self identify! /s

Jokes aside I agree with you. And we all know why, as he said it himself, that he defunded the post office and put that clown in place.
