I have been waiting 4 months to get my apron back from the silkscreener. Left Oregon last Friday with 2 day shipping. Today I checked the tracking and it says unexpected delay. What's another week or two. F usps.

That may be the case but I stand by, F the usps. Slow, inefficient, outdated and a drain on our tax dollars. Privatize them and while they're at it, dump the Amtrak subsidies.

I get a ton on packages from private shipping companies. Their success to fail ratio far exceeds the usps's best day, hell, best year. Sorry if I'm offended any postal carriers here.

maybe not recently but as the late 80's they were. Add to it, they are overseen by the inefficient U.S. government. In the future, try not to insult people when trying to make a point.

Yet they hemorrhage money. Fantastic business model.

Dupe post

I suggest you read my post again. I didn't say they take subsidies. I said they are a drain on the tax payer. The postal system enjoys (at the benefit of the U.S. taxpayer) the following: up to 15 billion in fed line of credit at a rate less than 1%. The postal system is a for profit company yet does not pay taxes, does not pay vehicle registration or licence plate fees and several other items. Now a purist might say they don't get tax payer subsidies in the form of dollars but someone's footing that bill. I wonder who it could be? Let's not forget the 90 million it recieves yearly to deliver mail to the disabled and overseas veterans.
Save the keyboard tough guy typing for someone who might be intimidated by such bravado. I work in DC and see the inefficiencies and fiduciary waste daily. Perhaps you should be a little more informed before calling others out tough guy typer.

Yes I'm quite familiar with the prefunding requirement. Your issue is you just look at the surface to validate your mouth and your half truths. He's a thought, why are their revenues dropping while the competitions rise. Stop with the tough guy routine. It makes you look like an a real jerk.

Tax breaks and tax free are two different worlds. I see, the old "I'm bored with this argument when confronted with facts" defense. Gotcha tough guy.

No argument there. Reports estimate church tax exemptions can be valued at over $50b a year. There is a difference in applying that logic to my previous posts though. The USPS is a for profit entity whereas a church is not. Additionaly, the usps has a monopoly on certain postal duties their competitors do not all while enjoying tax exempt status in the **open** competitive market. Imagine what thier bottom line would be if those exemptions were figured in. But I digress. You're not changing my mind nor I yours. I won't go any further off topic as this is line of discussion is bordering on political talk.
