I guess this is okay since they will be shutting down our postal service as soon as they sell off the parts the major logistics companies want.
Don't worry, your tax bill won't go down as a result. Youll still be taxed as if the USPS were still operating.
Taxes do not pay for the USPS. The USPS is fully funded by itself.
Yeah, but...

Wait, you're taking something Trump said as the truth?
Truth or not, his administration is poised to take action. Do you not agree they would annihilate USPS if given the chance?
You're changing the subject.
I mean, you literally asked.
The thing is that USPS is one of very few branches that is self sufficient and doesn't need trades to operate.
I wish they could fuck off and leave it alone.
I actually am more satisfied with USPS that those supposedly premium, paid couriers.
One great thing I love about USPS is that if the package arrives to my local post office ahead of time they will deliver it immediately. UPS and FedEx will hold it, because God forbid you would get the item sooner if you didn't pay extra.
The USPS is mostly self-funding, receiving very little at all through taxes, so... yeah.
Yeah, but...

All I was commenting on was the tax comment, and this still has no relevance to that
