Not really. That statement including "approved as needed" without specifying whether those defined needs have changed is pretty telling.

"Oh wait, this thing we didn't think through is damaging our appeal to veterans and elderly who rely on the USPS to get their medication? Whoops!"
Ultimately their goal was to instill a fear of using the USPS to cast a ballot. They succeeded.

I think the idea is to pass legislation addressing this (or at least get the GOP on board not supporting the protection of USPS).
You see the sorting machine works on commission and requires payment for every sort job completed!
They definitely were making cutbacks. The mail has been getting here but sometimes really late and few days skipped. Never had this issue until recently. There is no question the USPS can handle voting. Look at all the junk mail we get on a daily basis. It would be amazing to see credit card companies put a hold on their barrage of advertisements for a month to help alleviate the load of voter mail but that won't happen.
Just red meat for the talking points, so they can claim the democrats are wasting time on a non issue.
the DNC won't buy it. They will demand the restoration of the removed items and machines whenhe Is called before the house next week.

This. It's good news to hear this, but it's only a start. The damage needs to be fixed. The guy also needs a good reaming in front of the House.
Maybe I'm being paranoid but this feels deliberate like they have a better alternative to fuck us over.
Like why the fuck would Trump make a 180 and tweet yesterday 'Save USPS!' ?

Doesn't mean shit until you reverse the damage.
I'm not accepting this as some kind of win when they've already done much of what they wanted.

Yeah, I don't think this changes a single Democrat's mind about necessary actions.
He's a literal internet troll.
Asshole: "I've completely fucked things up. 90% of my work done. Just a little more fuckery to go."
*Gets caught*
Asshole: "Ok ok ok, I'll stop."
*Shits still fucked up*

Yeah this is key. If he doesn't reverse what's already happened, then he has already done his job of sabotaging the USPS, while also getting this positive headline.
I can. The machines being used to sort letters and flats are the ones being removed. Letter and Flat mail volume is down so restructuring sort programs, removing machines and reducing the workers needed to operate and maintain them saves money. The reduction in capacity to sort ballots is concerning.
I Work for the USPS btw.
Further, demand all documentation and correspondence related to the decision-process that led to adopting such changes. He didn't just wave a magic wand. Force him to reveal where and how the obvious fuckery came about. With zero experience, whom did he rely on to make decisions he is unqualified to making? Specifics. Logistics. Justifications. For each and every impacted station.
Force him to answer for firing experienced senior leadership at a most critical point for handling potentially record numbers of vote-by-mail adoption. Explain clearly how it isn't politically-motivated.
And so on...
Yep, this is such an admission of guilt. They wanted their election interference to be quiet, but got busted.
Can you say if you know what happened to the sorting machines, once removed?
I just want to be clear (more for the sake of someone who might read this and think that the Democrats are not acting) that the House has already requested these documents (due this week) and has asked him to appear in front of a committee on Monday.
You gonna pull that shit back from the dumpster? It's all bullshit. Reminder that this dude owns millions of dollars of stock in a company that steps in and gets paid to fill usps gaps.
This dude already took care of himself and his orange daddy. Put his ass in jail.

At the facility I work at one machine had been removed so far, I think some modules were used to increase capacity on another machine but other than that, I'm not sure. I can say that I doubt any machines will be put back in.
Thanks for what you're doing over there.
So how bad would you say these changes have affected your branch?
OP says he's not going to cut hours for now. Though I guess that could still mean overtime is at risk.
Not much yet. I've been home waiting of Covid results so I'm not sure how bad it has gotten. We had still been using overtime but with the recent reorganization that may change soon. It seems that the bigger districts are the ones getting screwed.
I'm guessing what that is meant to say is that of the equipment scheduled to be removed, 95% of it is done already.
The way it reads makes it sound like 95% of all equipment is planning to be removed.
