I'm no expert but I recall the USPS acting like a bank, making money from savings accounts and other financial services. Would be interested in some of the various arguments for or against privatization/funding.
The USPS is not a business. It does not lose money.
The USPS is a service. It costs money to run, like other services in the country (Medicad, the military, the EPA).
If you're upset about the USPS losing billions here and there, wait till you hear about the military losing 750 Billion each and every year!
I live in rural America and let me tell you the USPS is a complete joke here. Everyone knows it, and we choose to use UPS/FedEx instead. I don’t have a mailbox anymore nor do I have a P.O. Box. Many neighbors are going this way, too. We don’t want or need their services anymore. They’ve become too unreliable.
Right? Or is the Post Office a special case?
And honestly I could probably be convinced that there is no responsible way to get ourselves out of the mess we put ourselves in over the last several decades and the only solution is a commander-in-chief willing to be irresponsible.
