Anyone who argues that USPS is a "waste of money" is either grossly misinformed or lying through one's teeth; USPS is self-funded through postage and other fees, not through taxpayer funding. You still have to pay for postage to mail a potato.

It's easy to demonstrate that it is not a waste of money compared to commercial services, but let us argue counterfactually for the moment that it is the most expensive alternative.

It is the only universal (in the USA) communications service, and therefore a necessary service which is not filled or reasonably filled by private alternatives.

If the post office mandate was only to be profitable, it would have been disbanded decades ago. It is a communication organization mandated by the constitution, by the founding fathers. Profit was never ever part of rurual postage service, neither was rural electrification, not rural phone service, and rural internet. The service that shows the most profit is the war machine.

How many people does the post office unalive?

The post office is loved by children, young adults, and senior citizens. Is the profitable military as popular amoung the people who call our veterans loosers? This comes from a propoganda machine of the oligarks who want, instead of government service, want only their own selfish profits.

War is a waste of money, and arguing about it is a waste of time.

To the many who think mail to rural people is a waste of money? I would rather recieve a letter from someone than a list of war dead.

Thr many who think that profit is the reason for the existence of the post office, left a Marine for dead in Africa, lied about it, and never learned to pronounce his name to his mother.

At least a coconut in the mail is not as empty headed as most of the political party that wants to run the entire government as a profitable business only to bankrupt it like a casino.

How do they bankrupt a casino?

Show me the first politician who ran on a platform of a profitable war machine? Pretty sure it was the German socialist Democratic party, who were never thet socialist not democratic.
