For those wondering why the USPS cannot turn a profit, Jon Oliver does an excellent job of explaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoL8g0W9gAQ

Jon Oliver is a very partisan comedian and therefore cannot be trusted. And when I say ‘him’ I refer to the very politicized team of writers and their network.

Ok so you don’t disagree with any points.

At least he provides the references to the info that he presents. I assume that you did your research and the vast majority of the information he presented was verifiably false. Can you please share your findings with us ?

Watch literally any episode of Jon Oliver on something you've glanced at the Wikipedia article for, and his partisan bias is grossly apparent.

Guy you're replying to didn't really make an argument, no, but it's worth ridiculing someone for posting Jon Oliver, because it is a thing to be ridiculed. That's about as bad a linking to a Bill O'Reilly op-ed as far as I'm concerned.

Dismissing facts based on the accompanying commentary is fundamentally flawed. You may not agree on the commentary part of a journalistic piece but you cannot dismiss their stories a priori. Same applies for Fox News.

The fact that he chose to share Jon Oliver instead of Jon Oliver's sources indicates to me that he has not read those sources.
