I know it’s kind of suggesting it but this is exactly why businessmen (people) should not be politicians. Running a country is to benefit the people running a business is to benefit shareholders. Their “skills” are not interchangeable

Framing the USPS as a poor business rather than a public service is propaganda.

And the reason they are struggling to be self supporting is not poor management, but the republicans having passed a bill under W. requiring them to fully fund pensions for people who aren’t even born yet.  Name me one business that funds pensions seventy years in advance.

United States Postal SERVICE.

You know what other government agency spends more than it takes in? The National Park Service. Because the fees barely cover anything, the budget is not big enough, and they rely on donations. It’s a service. You pay into it for a benefit, like preserving natural landscapes or being able to send something anywhere in the US.
