The resignation of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy signals potential instability for the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). This follows a controversial plan to cut 10,000 jobs and reduce costs amid increasing pressures for privatization under the Trump administration. Critics argue that privatizing USPS could disrupt essential services, including mail-in voting and delivery of crucial items, affecting especially rural Americans. While DeJoy cited progress toward financial sustainability, many believe more substantial reforms are needed, and the temporary leadership transition has left uncertainty in the agency's direction.
Taking over the Postal Service just kind of opens up a whole Pandora's box of mischief, said Barbara Smith Warner, executive director of the Oregon Association of County Clerks.
Although DeJoy claimed USPS is on a path toward financial sustainability, significant changes and more work are still necessary, hinting at the agency's ongoing struggles.
