Postmaster General Louis DeJoy let the public know in a Friday statement brimming with business-speak that he’s overhauling management of the U.S. Postal Service “to capture operating efficiencies by providing clarity and economies of scale that will allow us to reduce our cost base and capture new revenue.”
DeJoy, who lacks much of the experience one might hope for in an executive handed the reins of the country’s biggest retail operation, also said he wanted to “serve the American people … by maintaining and operating our unique, vital and resilient infrastructure.”
