Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced plans to reduce the U.S. Postal Service's workforce by 10,000 employees and cut billions in budget spending. This initiative is partnered with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. The USPS aims to tackle substantial internal issues, including mismanagement of retirement and regulatory constraints. Critics, including Democratic U.S. Rep. Gerald Connolly, warn that such measures could lead to the decline of vital postal services, particularly impacting rural areas reliant on USPS for essential deliveries. The agency is set to implement these changes through a voluntary early retirement program over the next month.
