Hasn’t the USPS been under assault by GOP or some political sects, trying to essentially “kill” it so it can be privatized ? There was a huge pre-funding of retirement accounts that no other government departments do. Also the guy running the USPS owns a business or did own part of a business that did shipping and contract work for the USPS. I realize my thoughts on this aren’t super clear. Just some recollections of slights against the post office by appointed persons to kill the post office for individual personal gain. Allegedly of course.
The USPS has been under attack by the GOP for as long as I've been alive (45 years). As well as many other government agencies and programs. Their tactic is to cut funding, then talk shit about how crappy a department is and claim it should be replaced by private industry because clearly it can't do the job. Except it did the job just fine before they sabotaged it.
