>> I’m not surprised that you work for USPS. Pretty typical.
I don’t work for USPS; though, I use it regularly along with FEDEX, and UPS when necessary. Each provides unique value to the market.
USPS generates revenue from counter sales, not taxation.
FWIW, I’m not defending the entitlement mindset that refuses to accept the reality of Obamanomics. I am defending a decent operation, however, that deserves the opportunity to correct its financial trajectory. While USPS does not deserve tax payer bailouts, it does deserve the freedom to adjust its delivery schedule, operations, and employee pay and benefits.
I do not agree that the USPS is a decent operation, but I do agree that they should be able to adjust their operations to achieve profitability. I will further suggest that their access to government (taxpayer) loans be immediately and irrevocably terminated, and if the USPS cannot achieve profitability like a normal company, then they should be dissolved and the assets auctioned off.
