One of the reasons it doesn't work is there are congressional rules and laws limiting it to only "not working". Things like - requiring full pre-funding of all benefits, limits to what it can carry that come from congress, etc. Many of these rules seem to exist only to make the post office look bad.

- jbob2000 11y agoWith the serious presence of corporate money in American policy making, I wonder if that is the result of lobbying from FedEx and UPS. They stand to profit from a weakened USPS.
- Jtsummers 11y agoThey stand to profit regardless. USPS actually makes their lives easier. UPS/FedEx would be taking on a huge expense trying to properly service remote (rural) areas to the level of the USPS. If they can sit on top of it via partnerships (FedEx, at least, already makes use of USPS for last-mile delivery on some delivery tiers), they can focus on their high population density and global logistics business instead.
