Note that this is at the order of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who was appointed to the post by Trump in 2020. The same one who slowed down the mail service around the election and is the founder CEO of XPO logistics, which is a huge conflict of interest. The Biden administration directed USPS to go electric, but they are quasi-independent.
