      We should not be allowing cheap crap that serves no purpose to be a drain on tax dollars lmfao

      Just because it’s a service doesn’t make the comment you are replying to any less correct. Cancelling inbound chinese shipments is negatively affecting quality of service, NOT revenue

      Just because it’s a service doesn’t mean it has to operate at a loss. Water is a service too, but you can’t bankrupt the water company by using 300x as much water.

          Whether it’s public or private has no real bearing on my point though. Water consumption is priced to cover the cost of delivering the water. That isn’t the case in international shipping, the more packages from China for the USPS, the more money they lose.

            the entire premise of your “point” is mind-bogglingly wrong. the USPS doesn’t make money, it costs money, just like any other org run by the government

            how much revenue is the US military raking in? or are they “operating at a loss” too?

            talking about ending the USPS because it’s “losing money” is the most bone-headed bullshit take on anything, ever. period

        Services can still cost money. Utilities, such as water, cost money but if the government is running them they do not need to produce profit.

        Republicans framing the postal service as a failed business venture is purposeful.
