Coming from a European country the USPS reliability and speed of delivery is impressive, you have no idea how good you have it for a country of this size.
Teller service at the USPS now that is pretty terrible true, but if there is no innovation it’s because congress won’t let it. Why isn’t the USPS offering banking services for example like other postal services do?
- sneak 4y agoIt varies wildly with region. Sometimes delivery is not even attempted and a 90 minute counter service wait is literally the only way to get tour package (Harlem).
- goodSteveramos 4y agoBanking and payment monopolies are very important for the US political system. As a last resort, banks want to be able to de-bank grass roots political opposition and giving all citizens a post office bank account would make this impossible without violating the first amendment. Thats why the US doesn't have this while western countries with stricter political speech codes do.
