Summary
As Trump refuses to sign a loan to the Post Office unless they quadruple their package prices ( ! ), The top officer of the American Postal Worker's Union, Mark Dimondstein, joins Thom to discuss the state of our constitutionally sanctioned parcel service. The US Post Office provides consistent, affordable delivery to ever address in America for a reasonable and uniform cost. Why are Republicans using underhanded tricks and exploiting the Covid crisis to undermine a successful, self-sustaining, independent national Post Office for the sake of for-profit package delivery corporations?
And Mark Pocan, Progressive leader in the House takes caller questions on how things look from inside the beltway- even as he quarantines at home.
