and who is sending fucking envelopes across the country in 2024? only spam mail and bills come by mail, everything else is online. package delivery is all that matters now and thats where the post office falls behind. the post office runs at a loss because its infrastructure is outdated and retarded and wasnt upgraded for efficiency in decades whereas fedex and ups have constantly been innovating in their warehouse robots/package sorting systems and their state of the art package tracking systems.  the post office has none of that, because it wasnt being run to maximize profit, it was being run instead by bureaucrats looking to make the post office larger and larger, taking on more and more duties when it couldnt even fullfill its existing ones better than the private sector. the post office is a perfect example of how the government does things wrong because government institutions end of always prioritizing the growth of the government institution and it's powers(and thus budget) instead of actually trying to solve problems or deliver the services it is suppose to.
