Leftist-controlled social media says nuh-uh!
Surely it had nothing to do with this law. Prior to that it was profitable. Obviously that's not the only thing, but that republican legislation has cost them pretty significantly and there's a sharp decline of viability from that point forward.

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.

I doubt he’ll win, but I won’t be mad or riot if he does. It would be a sad day for America, but not surprising at this point

Yes, although I was referring to policy and management decisions. Like their job is to explain the situation and other people make decisions, people who see the big picture outside the test tube. Like when Fauci said "pause in the opening and maybe even take a step back in our phases" that's not an opinion he should have because he only sees the medical/scientific applications, and meanwhile I can't go to the game. Fuck that guy. Play ball!

Right that's cool and all but, just so we're on the same page though, you have a vague idea of what science is and how it works?

Saying that it deals in absolutes seems kind of ignorant is all, so just making sure. Also, why can't he have that opinion? You don't actually have to do what doctors recommend but recommending a course of action is...somewhat the point, no?

Like I was in the hospital recently and the PCA were like "we have to take your blood at 4am" and I was like "nah I'm good don't do that" and they were like "we have to" and I was like "nah I'm good" and then they didn't and I finally got a good night sleep there. On the flip side when I had a migraine* that blinded me temporarily in one eye and the neurologist was like "Hey dog we gotta do hella tests immediately to make sure you're not absolutely fucked, I'm going to call a stroke code to expedite it, a shit ton of people are going to rush you, is that cool?" I was like "yeah that's cool I'd like to know that too, scan the fuck outta this brain".

The neurologist wouldn't be very helpful if he just swung by like "Yo you might've had a stroke" and walked away.

*Neurologists currently assume this, because they don't deal in absolutes, because there's no evidence or indications of any harm whatsoever to my brain or eyes, they really only ruled out all the super scary shit that it could have been but don't know what actually happened. In fact, it'd be kinda dope if they _did_ only deal in absolutes and could tell me exactly what happened, because nothing makes you feel better than randomly going blind for 30 seconds and doctors being like "bro no fuckin idea that's weird".

Your personal anecdote is very touching. Please, listen to your doctor! The guy on TV, the guy who doesn't know you personally? Don't listen to him.

I've never had a doctor that knew me personally, I think that'd be weird. I don't want them to, fuck that, in fact I want them to know as little about me as possible, be objective. I move every few years for work and rarely visit them anyways, but why wouldn't I listen to someone who has spent decades studying something that I know very little about? Isn't that really just suggesting not to respect and listen to your elders?

Broadly speaking, where else would you seek advice other than from people who spent their lives studying the thing you're asking about? Is it really that threatening to you to be comfortable assuming you don't have the answer?
