Because these threads usually get political, thus the cafe.

It is not a slam on you but if you did search before posting, you would have seen that topic posted an hour before yours. Not a big deal and multiple threads get started all of the time. Keep posting and contributing what you feel is interesting or of value.
The reason I think this is not HUGE news.
My point is that nothing is going to change (immediately) and Dejoy did announce his resignation last month. (approx.)
Business as usual even though it feels unusual.

"U.S. postmaster general Louis DeJoy resigned from his position Monday, earlier than expected after reportedly refusing to give Elon Musk's DOGE broad access to agency computer systems.
Instead, he said on Monday that he would leave at the end of the day and be replaced by deputy postmaster Doug Tulino on an interim basis.
Inside sources told The Washington Post that DeJoy had fallen out of favor with the president after clashing with DOGE operatives over the extent of their access, and insisting that any major changes go through Congress."

I've posted this link elsewhere, but for those interested in poring over the veritable encyclopedia of US law that governs the operation of the postal service, please click here.
There is not much by way of unilateral action that the President can do to USPS. (Indeed, the Office of Personnel Management has singled out USPS, along with other national security-related USG agencies, as exempt from DOGE nihilism).
Last I heard, the White House was consulting with the Commerce Department to see if there could be some sort of integration that might lead to more efficiencies.

There were rumblings that Wells Fargo was involved in privatizing part of the post office this week. If i can find a link, i will post it.
