USPS (Taxpayers) Got Snuckered

But after questioning from @AOC today it’s clear they lied. USPS & Oshkosh never intended to use union labor.

📢#ElectricVehicles cost substantially less in the long-term and have much lower maintenance costs than their gas-guzzling counterparts.

Transitioning the Postal fleet to #EVs is a sensible investment that will help save the @USPS money over time.https://t.co/yDpuU18G92

But that didn't happen.
Now it will cost all us taxpayers more over time.
