they can be the nicest folks ever,,,, but privatization is inevitable. dont forget the 250 billion for a electric fleet,,, did stamps pay that? i think trump clawed some of that back. there is nothing the gubermint does well,,certainly not the post office. what they used to be is not what they are.,,,, right in the wallet. thats where on the doll.

The US Postal Service Is Going Broke


"At its core, the Post Office is sinking. The $18.8 billion it earned in revenue during the third quarter was no higher than its earnings in the previous year. Meanwhile, its expenses were $22 billion or 2.9 percent higher than the same period last year due to rising employee compensation costs. The Post Office has $15 billion in debt, its legal maximum, and has lost $6.2 billion this year—so far."

"Congress also offered some aid to the ailing agency. As part of a gigantic pandemic relief bill, Congress delivered what effectively was a grant of $10 billion in taxpayers’ dollars to the agency. This was the first significant congressional appropriation for the agency in many decades. Congress subsequently gifted the USPS $3 billion to help it replace its aging vehicle fleet with new electric-powered trucks and shifted $100 billion of postal retirees’ health benefit costs from the USPS to Medicare. With these aid packages, legislators were tacitly admitting the Postal Service’s run as a self-funded entity was over."


uh no.
"They will not fail as since the beginning of the country, they have a mandate to deliver mail to every address regardless if it's profitable or not. So, If you live 75 miles out in the bush and ya get a letter .. they are going to get a plane, fly it in and deliver that there letter from a lawyer telling you to cease and desist.. Never mind that the USPS only got paid 5 bucks for it and it will probably cost the service 400 dollars .. the mail will get through eventually."

i live 6 miles from the p/o on the highway,,, they will not deliver mail here. i tried. if a pkg goes to the p/o with my name, physical address they put a notice in my po box saying they sent it back. the entity you are nostalgic for simply does not exist,, at least not in alaska. maybe different where you are.i wish they did.
