Yea I run a department at a small business. I ship hundreds of things a week. USPS always sucks. Besides on cost for smaller packages.

I ship boxes only via USPS and sometimes they are 30 or 40 lbs. each. They arrive in two days for domestic and it costs me $12. Nobody else comes close. I’ve never had a single lost package either.

The usps doesn’t take any tax payers money since the seventies. Those saying it’s taking tax dollars for operation. Look it up!
My post man has his hands full every time he walks by on his run.
UPS and FedEx can’t take USPS position. There is a bit more intelligence to these operations what what I read of all these complaints there above. How I see it, UPS, FedEx and any other carrier delivery service are just picking up the slack of what the monstrous operation USPS can tow.
If your looking at USPS and can’t see their business as a smooth operation, you have some problem with your eyes sight, or somethings loose up in your head. The thing is HUGE! The operations of such business are enormous and serve up to 200 million people a day!
If you could rack your brain around all their doing and then come to think of some better way to do it, Christ! Run for President oh! Blessed Wise One.
Make a family member smile, go to your local post office, find a fun loving card and write a letter to dear loved one. The smile and joy to bring to another in such manner better than some dumb fucking mushroom to eat.

Where do you think the money comes from then, considering they ran at a 8+ billion dollar deficit last year?
https://www.atr.org/usps-post-half-billion-losses-despite-billions-subsidies
>This week the Postal Service reported a net loss of $586 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The USPS’s ability to lose over half a billion dollars in just three months would almost be impressive if it wasn’t a detriment to American taxpayers. The fact is the USPS receives roughly $18 billion in taxpayer-backed subsidies annually yet is still failing.

“ While the Postal Service is a government agency, it doesn't run off of taxpayer money, and operates entirely off of revenues from mail and package delivery as well as the other services it offers. It employs over half a million people, including 100,000 US military veterans. ”
I’ve asked the post office years ago and got this answer as any google search will state too.
How the government is strangling the post is by not aiding as they done so to so many other needed sources in stimulus it sounds.
Check google usps is not tax payers money.
“ Since the early 1980s, many direct tax subsidies to the USPS (with the exception of subsidies for costs associated with disabled and overseas voters) have been reduced or eliminated. The USPS, as of 2019, has 469,934 career employees and 136,174 non-career employees.” - Wiki

I just got letter stating the USPS moves about 200 million parcel a day. If was to do the math, make average of how much a day, that $500 million dollars sounds like a whole lot but in the scheme of numbers that be adding up to to there operations ain’t that much.
That’s what’s funny about speaking big numbers to such things, is that those operations do consume lots of and circulate lots of money. The two trillion dollar bail out to economy of stimulus ain’t nothing in the ocean of money they swimming in, they the business and all that function with money daily.
It sounds like a lot of money because we only accumulate x a number annually. But take into consideration of the 320 million US citizens...
Those numbers too big to count on my fingers and toes. I out of here.

Yeah, I know they claim that, but it's not true.
The government "loans" them tax payer money, that never gets paid back. They're 150 billion+ in debt right now, which is something like 2 times their annual revenue.
Edit:
This is a really good, well sourced article.

Saul Ptamets said: if you think coronavirus is the governments' problem to solve and not yours go over to some fuckin socialist country. And stop throwing blame on everyone else but yourself.
Of course it's the governments responsibility. The President is the only person in this country that had the power to stop it. I can't make strict stay at home orders and force factories to make test kits and test people. How is that my responsibility? Are you a teenager or something? It sounds like you don't understand how government or the world works and who is responsible for what.
All the President had to do was to make a super strict stay at home order for almost everybody possible until we had enough test kits and medical equipment to go around. They could enforce a contact tracing app for cell phones so we would know who may be infected, by who and who else is at risk. By a couple weeks the virus would have set in to everyone that it infected at the time and we could isolate those people and test the rest to see if they are asymptomatic.
It really wouldn't have been all that hard to get this under control if we had a president who didn't dismantle the programs that were setup to stop this in the first place. Then the president says it will miraculously go away in a few days when China and science said otherwise. The he said it would magically go away when it got warmer, which again was based on nothing. He claims it's a hoax, made by democrats, discouraged mask wearing, made it political, and so on.
The President and Federal government was responsible for stopping this and they failed when they had the chance. They continue to fail and pretend that it doesn't even exist while 100.000's of people are sick and dying. They are responsible for this, not me, and these deaths are on their hands for failing to act, failing to listen to science, and failing to lead.
Not only did they kill all these people, but they actually fucked up the economy up even more. When they could have shut down for a few weeks and paid people's rents and salaries they didn't. Instead they gave everyone a measly $1200 and forced them to go back to work while sick and spread the virus. They give out small business loans, but they are so incompetent that instead of going to small businesses they gave millions to huge corporations. The economy could have been fixed by now and people could be at work safely. Instead they fucked us over for at least a couple years.
I do what I can to stop this and try to educate people who can't comprehend science or how government should work. Unfortunately there are a lot of low IQ people that just blame democrats, socialists, and spew out "Trump Derangment Syndrome" instead of arguing with facts, science, and history. It's not about Democrat vs Republican. It's about doing the right things to get this under control. IMO supporting Trump and the Federal Governments actions on this matter shows an uneducated person with a low IQ.

Yeah tbf they haven't paid into the retirement fund since 2009 but it's a great example of why Trump is not special in fucking everything up with asinine ideas.
Or rather people they're responsible for.
Fun to hate the dude but our government has been running the country with incompetence and greed for a while.
Also panicked clickbait articles about how USPS was going to shut down were up well before the brilliant new ideas of the Trump boy took effect. As soon as 2 months before.
Stop plz.

How come no discussion of the bill which forced them to set aside funds for 50 years in the future worth of retirement back in 06? There's an extremely strong correlation with their finances and this extreme expense.

I mean it's been mentioned like 6 times. I can't remember what it's called and I assume no one else does either.
