31. That's no excuse.

Biden appointed the majority of people in the postal board. There is no excuse for this crook remaining as P.G. Biden certainly had the option to choose people who would replace DeJoy, and he didn't. And here we are.

This is a problem bigger than the postal service. When the public gives us power and we refuse to use it, then we really can't complain when they decide not to give us power the next time.
