The best way at the moment to solve many of USPS's financial straits is to relieve itself of all the top bureaucracy that is continually gorging itself on any and all revenue that is taken in; this has been going on since our postal service went from being The US Postal Department (a wholly government entity) and morphed into the USPS which is a quasi-government set which follows a fractured fairytale-mindset of looney bilaws, regulations, and financial faceplants. They buy airtime to advertise for what market they have left to them and which they have cornered. The union bosses feast on the fears of the employees they corral into joining with threats of non-representation and loss of pay if they don't.

Without going into an hours-long conversation about all the ills of our postal system, I'll add one more and were done: the ranks of supervisors, 204-Bs, plant managers, and postmasters should be scoured for any semblance of misconduct and summarily fired with no benefits. The hiring practice of bringing in family members, parolees with violent crime / drug histories and political preference to the left should be immediately stopped.

And that's a hefty beginning, and only such.

This is actually one of the few functions of the Federal government which is allowed by the Constitution.

What you said...and more

It’s a real shame if the government can’t keep its one or two constitutionally mandated functions afloat. Wonder what else is getting screwed up thanks to all of its UNconstitutionally meddling!

For over the last 15 years, I’ve been hearing that both the US Postal Service and Amtrac are billions of dollars in debt and bleeding money.

I’ve been hearing about the demise of the USPS for at least 20 years now! The sky is always falling

If the US Postal Service goes under, can I still use my Forever Stamps?

Yet Amazon makes so much money they can fund a private space program. Their regulations need to be loosened up to be able to compete with other logistics companies.

No doubt the trouble is people opting out of the system.

Well they did spend the last 110 years continuously experimenting with electric vehicles.

How did that work out?

What is a “postal service”? Is it some new type of text or email system?

The post office is loaded with parasites and gibs-me-dats who are looking for an easy, effortless, work-free ride to endless benefits and perquisites. It is not run like a business but something akin to the SEIU.

Our postal carrier seems to have become an Amazon delivery person in addition to junk mail duties. Her car is usually filled with Amazon packages. There are are arguments as to how lucrative that is for the USPS - https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/for-every-amazon-package-it-delivers-the-postal-service-loses-146
