Senate Republicans cannot force the U.S. Postal Service to scrap thousands of electric vehicles and charging equipment in a massive tax and budget bill, the Senate parliamentarian said late on Sunday.
The U.S. Postal Service currently has 7,200 electric vehicles, made up of Ford e-Transit vehicles and specially built Next Generation Delivery Vehicles built by Oshkosh Defense.
USPS warned on June 13 that scrapping the electric vehicles would cost it $1.5 billion, including $1 billion to replace its current fleet of EVs and $500 million in EV infrastructure rendered useless and “seriously cripple our ability to replace an aging and obsolete delivery fleet.”
They are not operating based on what’s intelligent, they’re operating based on a weak ideology. That ideology (neoliberalism) is full of contradictions because it exists exclusively to maintain the status quo and grow the wrath of the elite. Therefore, their actions are and will become more contradictory. It’s not a bug it’s THE feature. Their actions will never match their words because their words are a means to an end and not an end themselves.
They are “fiscally responsible” because they are maintaining the status quo of the economy.
