Despite the US population practically doubling, the amount of mail sent is back down to ~1976 levels.
This isn't artificial.
- lazide 5y agoThey make their money on packages too, and that has been strong, up and to the right for a long time. The difference in quality of service pre-dejoy and post was pretty clear? And they’ve been break even or profitable pretty much every year. I’d consider that artificially hamstrung, since it isn’t the market doing that.
