Any chance we can leave the politics out of this? USPS has been in trouble for a long time.
Let's consider:
Email, texting, paperless billing, online banking, internet shopping versus catalog, POS (debit) versus check writing.
Competition exists from Fed Ex, UPS, DHL etc.
Need for the USPS has dropped significantly; Yet they want to continue with pensions?
Call it a service, call it a business, whichever you prefer. Either way it is losing money and can not continue as is.
