The USPS does not receive tax payer funding.
- Alupis 6y agoThey receive taxpayer "bailouts" frequently, including this current $25 Billion bailout[1]. Bailout, Funding, Potato, Potato. [1] https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/22/politics/postal-service-house-vote-funding/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/22/politics/postal-service-house...
- mtberatwork 6y agoThat bill was originally part of the stimulus package. The House separated it out to provide emergency aid to the USPS. Regardless, the bill won't move out of the house.
- Alupis 6y agoThis is only the latest "Bailout" for USPS. They have a history of receiving bailouts every few years. Might as well be considered direct funding, since they find themselves in that situation almost like clockwork.
- mtberatwork 6y ago> This is only the latest "Bailout" for USPS. They have a history of receiving bailouts every few years. What history of bailouts? This "bailout" only passed in the House. They aren't receiving those funds. > Might as well be considered direct funding No, that's not what that term means. > since they find themselves in that situation almost like clockwork. No, they don't.

- kyleee 6y agoIt sounds like the case can made, care to expound on your argument?
- derivagral 6y agoI know their first "profitable" quarter was basically on the back of California's energy credit subsidy & 1-time sales thereof, but that program is over. I don't know if GP is referring to something more recent or ongoing.
