- kelnos 2y agoThat's not really the point. If they didn't push junk mail so hard, they'd be insolvent and fail. Profitability is not the issue. > But being profitable is a non-goal; they exist to serve the people Agree, but someone should probably tell Congress that. The situation is trash (literally; 95% of my mail goes directly to the recycling bin), but conservatives want the USPS to behave more like a business, and its funding -- and need to do crappy things -- reflects that.

- colejohnson66 2y agoI never said they should be profitable, just that junk mail funds them.
- Eumenes 2y agoSounds like they exist to serve big business pumping out tons and tons of land fill routed trash, subsidized by the federal government/taxpayers. Given they're unionized, they can just lobby whomever to keep this unicorn status. Federal agencies should not be allowed to unionize.
