Good point ~ the post office is a federal responsibility. Doesn't mean they have to exercise it with USPS but that's a start eh.

Now, about relative levels of efficiency, I believe the USPS continues to be the most efficient postal service in the world, and it still handles about half the mail in the world.

Europeans used to crow about having FASTER SERVICE but that was just for domestic service in a small part of the world. USPS had nearly equal service times from Nome to Miami ~ nothing more to say on that front.

HALF the mail in the world??? I seriously doubt that.
