Congress does need to repeal some of the constraints they have placed on the USPS and let them run like a business.

Wish granted.

Wish granted.

It wasn't a wish but it's what they always do when they need more money.

Don't be surprised if they decide to go ahead and make it permanent.

If some are concerned about how much money the USPS “loses”, wait till I tell you about the USDOD.

Ole Carvin’ Marvin had the USPS turning a profit back in the day. The changes didn’t stick after Reagan administration and Slick Willy took the wheelhouse.

Right? The military is "losing" hundreds of billions every year by this logic

They’re both services provided by the federal government using tax dollars... what is your criteria for comparison?

Umm no they're not. USPS is self funded, receives no funding from the federal government. I don't know how an adult doesn't know this but...

Now if you want to discuss turning our military into a mercenary for that fights for the highest bidder I'm listening.

 

[BeecherVol]

Neither are efficient with money. And they are far from the only ones.

Trump has been demonizing the Post Office for years because Jeff Bezos hurt his feelings. The Trumpers don't even know why they are supposed to dislike the Post Office, they just believe what Trump wants them to believe - it's sad and pathetic.

I can't remember the last time I bought any stamps, maybe ten years ago and they were forever stamps. I'm probably good for another 20 or 30 years at the rate I use them. In fact I still have some 42 cent stamps that I used to mail my last ballot in. I didn't know how much postage was so I used 2 of them.

At least USPS doesn't conscript people into service delivering mail in Baltimore yet.
