i'm sure you are aware of the hue and cry that would come from their congressional representatives...a private business might be happy to deliver mail to those small towns...but the residents won't be happy with a pricing structure that reflects costs and market conditions...people in red states love their subsidies

ditto for delivery of medical care to those communities

2006 law required the post office to pay 5 billion a year for 10 years to prepay benefits many years in advance. That ended in 2017. Thats why the losses went down 30% starting in 2017. Passed by a Republican congress.

Why are their benefits so ****ing expensive
 
Republicans in 2006 - We are going to mandate the Post office spend 5 billion a year for 10 years to prepay benefits many years in advance.



Republicans 10 years later - "Look the post office isnt solvent they lost 50 billion in the last 10 years"

no doubt

republicans love to get power and make sure gov't doesn't work

so they can turn around and say "see, it don't work"

self fulfilling policy of bs from them

Sweet. That's a 4 year profit in a history of existence. They also had 50 years of benefits paid for 10 years. Why can't they make any money?

Why are you stanning so hard for (yet another) failed government run business?
 
it also, doesn't have to make a profit

it's nice that it's a thing that can and has turned a profit and funded itself though

Because they are paying 50 years in advance whereas private companies pay as they go because unlike USPS it isnt mandated that they do so.

That happened because pension funds were going bust and the USPS is a pension employer. It's hard to be mad about making sure people who have planned for decades around a promised pension will actually have that pension. The crime is in not continuing to require it.

The public sector is no longer concerned about future obligations.

They will just print it.

The inflation tax will wipe people out. But they don't care
 
As to price, Amazon charges my very rural Appalachian family members the same 12.99 per month that they charge me and charge people I know in downtown Atlanta.

I go back and forth on whether to even bother with a retirement nest egg. At some point it will be horrifically devalued.

My company actually sent email today saying no raises... they justified it by saying inflation looks like it will be low this year
