U.S. Code Title 39, and the United States Postal Regulatory Commission. The former basically defines the USPS as socialist redistribution to rural areas, and the latter is what actually decides what rates the USPS is allowed to charge.
> The Postal Service shall provide a maximum degree of effective and regular postal services to rural areas, communities, and small towns where post offices are not self-sustaining. No small post office shall be closed solely for operating at a deficit, it being the specific intent of the Congress that effective postal services be insured to residents of both urban and rural communities
- gruez 1y agoSure, they can't close post offices, but that doesn't really say anything about why they can't charge more for parcels to rural areas?
