In some ways I feel really bad for the Post Office. They’re suppose to be an “independent government business” that is self supportive. Yet they can’t do anything without the permission of congress. They can’t raise fees. They can’t close offices. They can’t really do anything, they’re hands are tied.
The Post Office simply needs to be sold for parts.
I asked once just why is the post office losing money. Hardly anyone sends letters anymore, and think of all the transactions done by computers. And much if not all of the sorting is done by computers, too. The work load HAS to be less than it was 15 years ago. Less volume of work should lead to fewer humans “needing” to work for the postal service.
Sometimes, they can't do anything at all. The last two letters I mailed to my youngest son via USPS have been returned to me as "undeliverable." Each time I've had to go to my local post office where the postmaster sent the letter directly to the postmaster at his zip code city. The letters WERE then delivered as they should have been in the first place. If the USPS can't get a regular letter to a legitimate address, perhaps it's already failed or postal workers should have gotten training other than "diversity."
