What this article doesn't say is that the US Postal Service was never meant to be a "business". It's a SERVICE. Republicans have been undermining that service since the Bush administration in 2006. They want desperately to privatize it. It's part of Project 2025.

@Barbramon1 Great point about the USPS. Several years ago I promoted the idea within my small circle that the USPS should offer a Certified E-mail Service, with a national directory. It would include a small delivery charge (like a "stamp"), negligible to individual users, but enough to deter SPAM. I still think it is a good idea.

@Barbramon1 EXACTLY! People don't expect public roads, tap water, sewage or schools to be #profitable #businesses. They are #PublicUtilities and #Infrastructure! So why does anyone expect a #UPU-mandated #PostalService to be #profitable is beyond me.
