They have very little flexibility on resources & virtually zero funding for anything beyond implementing the services they offer. The federal government has had to subsidize them for a while now as they can't even flip a profit. God bless this mandated shit show of a service. Their incompetence gives me comfort, and I'm pretty sure because they're a government service the 4th amendment comes into play. I don't know how or why vendors from the SR days offered UPS and FedEx shipping. They can do anything they want to their packages, while USPS needs probable cause. Constitution hooking us tf up
That's incorrect. USPS pays for itself and turns a profit. Congress has been borrowing from that profit for decades to pay for tax cuts and wars, leaving USPS with millions of dollars in unpaid liabilities. The efficiency of the post office is incredible, and it definitely doesn't need a bailout.
