The USPS has outlived its present day usefulness. Trains replaced the pony express, airplanes replaced trains and today email and online bill pay are knocking out what remains. Not to leave out all the waste and union pensions. Within a 10 mile radius of my home there are about 5 post offices and two privately owned UPS stores. I do prefer private enterprise but what the post office needs to do is to consolidate their locations and handling facilities and maybe get into some modern day technology. 98% of all mail I receive through the USPS is junk mail.
I meant to say compared to two privately owned UPS stores.
I started paying bills online after this election to do my part to reduce the federal workforce (and maybe force postal workers to face reality); I should have done it sooner, but the stamps I have now will last for years for the few bills I will still pay via check.
Too much government work is just wealth redistribution disguised as “work”.
Ditto on the junk mail.
