So mothballing sorting machines didn’t effect efficiency?

Those machines were slated to be decommissioned before he even was appointed. The media clearly did a good job of painting it all as a conspiracy.

I didn't say anything about DeJoy, I asked about efficiency. I'm about fixing the problem, not assigning blame.

As I said, none of those changes to the logistical side of shipping, sorting, and transport affect any efficiency at the local office delivery level. The problem there is lack of staff.

Does your dinner get cooked when you aren't home? No, because there's no one there to cook it. Same reason mail isn't delivered on some routes some days, there no one there to run the route.

I didn’t mean to minimize the human aspect. No doubt that is the number one factor.
