The USPS is a total joke. Go into a UPS or FEDEX and then compare that with USPS. One of those 3 places you will be treated like a total inconvenience, ill let you guess which one.

Yeah I mean, maybe your local one sucks, the several I've been to had really nice people there, but again I don't live in a swamp so maybe that's why, idk.
Also that's not really what I was talking about, I think most people don't get particularly good service at the DMV either, or probably most other government agencies.
The USPS though, is required to deliver mail to any and all locations in the United States, there's definitely communities that either wouldn't get delivered to or they'd be charged insane prices by UPS/Fedex to deliver there..but that's also kind of besides the point.
It's not really meant to be profitable, it was created with the intent to only charge as much as it needed to to sustain itself because we all sort of agreed people should have access to getting mail. So, I mean, its kind of problematic that it's not breaking even I think is probably a better conversation to have and maybe investigate why that is and what decisions lead to this point that maybe could be rectified.
