Are the people who sort the mail worth $90K/yr? Have you noticed how many Marcedes and BMWs in the post office worker lot?

No, I can’t say that I have noticed that but I’ll look.
For Ronin, generally, something fills a vacuum of need in business. I agree, UPS and FEDEX are too expensive for most simple packages. I operate a small business and use USPS instead of FEDEX because of cost in many cases. FEDEX and UPS are expenses that most employees abuse without consideration at all for the cost. “Oh, I’ll just FEDEX that out to you.” Documents by FEDEX to Europe are about $60 and will get there in 3-5 days, USPS gets them there in the same time and tracks them just as well in about 5 days for less than $14. How much this is subsidized, I don’t know.
USPS mail sorters do not make 90K a year. According to this link, the max step for a PS-5 postal worker is $49,851.

Show me anyone who makes 90k sorting mail at the PO? Do you work there? Just like a lib, make it up as you go.
