Thank you, it looks like I misunderstood the definition of “independent establishment of the executive branch” ( https://about.usps.com/publications/pub100/pub100_036.htm https://about.usps.com/publications/pub100/pub100_036.htm ). I can’t find it now, but in the ‘90s, the post office had a brochure about how wonderful it was that it wasn’t actually a government agency, but apparently now they’re more worried about becoming truly privatized and are playing up their government connections.
