Joni Ernst Shreds Biden’s $3 Billion USPS EV Boondoggle — Just 93 of 50,000 Vehicles Delivered.
GP:
In yet another stunning example of government waste, the Biden administration’s $3 billion scheme to convert the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) has delivered nothing but empty promises, skyrocketing costs, and a mere 93 vehicles out of the planned 50,000.
Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and Representative Michael Cloud (R-Texas) are leading the charge against reckless taxpayer-funded disaster.
They introduced the Return to Sender Act, a bill aimed at clawing back the unspent billions that were funneled into the failed USPS EV initiative under Biden’s so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
“Biden’s $3 billion EV fleet for USPS is lost in the mail! Just 93 of 50,000 vehicles have been delivered. I am canceling the order and returning the unspent money to sender: the taxpayers!” Ernst wrote on X.

They look like something out of a kid’s cartoon. Spongebob wouldn’t look out of place stepping out of that thing. Does it run under water?
Please tell me this asshole has already been fired;

I know it’s pissing in the wind but why can’t the USPS be run like an actual business (more money coming in then goes out or cuts are made)?
They introduced an “act” wait for it… both houses of Congress

“Does it run under water?”
…apparently, it doesnt run at ALL.
But underwater for an EV is a GREAT idea!

I laugh my ass off every time I see that clip. That is your average fed worker. Can you imagine sitting in on a high level exec meeting and watch some moron pull that shit.
Yes, he’s gone. He quit.
@Rich and @BRad:
I worked for the Postal Service for 14 years. I would say that for too many, there is a sense of entitlement. A lot of people, though, have become cynical due to the promotion of the buffoons and toadies; incompetence and butt-kissing will get you far. For instance, there’s a huge problem with mail processing in Indianapolis:

He was covering ears because he was afraid that he was being spoken evil of. What a maroon.
It never made sense from the start. Sixty thousand dollars per vehicle does not include the chargers necessary, and don’t get me started on if they could get through their route without recharging.
Repeat…
When still more active in the business we had taken in a rather nice diamond and decided to get it certified and then more salable. Registered / Insured to CA from the midwest and in checking on status we were told it was delivered TO A NY ADDRESS! Pissed our pants as trying to collect on these losses takes forever.
Called GIA in CA and asked to be called when they got the package. Delivered there the next day, but USPS still claimed delivered in NY.
Have other stories, but found Fed Ex to work best for us.
Not exactly on topic, but I knew a couple and both of them were some of the dumbest people I ever met. Any guesses where they both worked?
Either the postal circus or the DMV with a third possibility of being a TSA agent.
A book of 20 stamps is almost $15. Not many years ago it was $8 and service was better.

A book of 20 stamps was $1.60 when I first joined the Navy in Sept. 1972 so I could write letters home from bootcamp.
That thing was lost on the drafting table.
He might “go postal”.

I read TommyBoy’s comment this morning and had this major flash back to when I was a kid. Hawthorne Ca. I can remember back to before I started school, and Mack The Mail Man. The guy had one of those three wheel push carts and walked his route. Always in shorts. It could be raining cats and dogs and the guy was wearing those mail man shorts. The guy was part of the neighborhood. A fixture. He should have had two carts, one for the mail and another for all the shit the neighbors gave him along the way. He wore one of those hard safari hats. The highlight of the day was when Mack The Mail Man showed up. What happened?
Joni Ernst is a snake. She tried her best to submarines Pete. Now she’s met DOGE and all of a sudden she’s a bargain shopper. I don’t trust the woman any farther than I could throw her fat ass, with taht weird freaken hair cut. Remember she was married while deployed and banging some grunt. The poor guy. Her husband busted her and she freaked out begging him not to go public. I’m not sure she’s any better than AOC.

That’s what DEI hires will do for you. My friggin mailman once again delivered mail to my house yesterday to a business a block away from my house with the same street address as mine for the umpty, umpth time. I’ve become a regular at returning their mail a few times a year. KNUCKLEHEADS!
