>They'll have issues again, their very nature of being a government-operated institution guarantees that. By which you mean that bad actors in government repeatedly sabotage[0] an otherwise extraordinarily well-run and cheap service, right? It's a standard playbook from, ahem, a certain type of politician: sabotage a well-run service, then point to its failure as evidence that the concept of government is broken; privatize and profit. The fact you had to go all the way back to 1837 (!) to find evidence of instability speaks volumes. -- [0] The most relevant sabotage in this case is the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (2006) which single-handedly destroyed the USPS's balance sheet. Seems rather unfair that the government gets to dictate how the Post Office spends money, but doesn't fund it at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Regulatory_Commission#Postal_Regulatory_Commission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Regulatory_Commission#P...
