Well, it’s based on the freakin’ Constitution.
It’s based on the Postal Clause in Article One of the United States Constitution, empowering Congress “To establish post offices and post roads,” it became the Post Office Department in 1792.
“it became the Post Office Department in 1792.”
Well, then I’d say it’s high time to get the private sector to do the job, and get these government employees out of the damn way.
We don’t need no stinking bloated government to be involved in the mail business. This ain’t 1792 anymore.
