I think it's a function of 2 things.

1. The federal government keeps defunding it

2. The unions make it pretty much impossible to fire underperforming employees

Part of the problem is apparently their finance group sucks, because they're so cheap that even UPS and Fedex are using them for last-mile transport. So they're getting too many packages, but not the revenue required in order to pay drivers to actually deliver those packages

 

I honestly think it's too cheap too. Think about all the spam mail that goes through the post office. Even dying retailers can afford to mail out millions of catalogs that immediately go into the trash. I think it's time that corporate mail were charged significantly more through the post office. Probably <1% of consumers want to receive any sort of advertising mailers from credit card companies, retailers, etc, and if the prices go up incrementally then either the post office makes more money or these senders stop destroying trees in order to send crap none of us want to look at.

 

Qui earum maxime quod optio cumque et a eos. Et deleniti dicta recusandae. Et dolor nam consequatur aut earum sed. Debitis et reiciendis culpa dolorem. Iusto aut sit adipisci minima consequatur ratione.
