Not sure what the relationship is between needing a USPS 200+ years ago and spending $Billions today to subsidize the USPS when private industry can do the job.
Women could not vote 200+ years ago, therefore they should not be able to vote today?
Your Sentimentality is very Selective.
Except the Private Sector won't do the job.
They'll do what they can make money doing. If there's no money to be made sending stuff to Aunt Gertie in the sticks, they won't do that.
If there's no money to be made sending stuff to Aunt Gertie in the sticks, they won't do that.
Bullshit. Aunt Gert could get deliveries, just not at the price you find convenient.

They would do it: but not at a loss.
I see no reason to subsidize Aunt Gertie, or anyone else. If they want to raise goats 93 miles from the nearest UPS office, then they'd better sell more cabrito if they want to send christmas cards, but don't reach into my wallet to subsidize their lifestyle choice.

The Modern Republican Party. I've got mine, fuck you.
And it wonders why it loses elections.
They are losing money because they have a union eating them from the inside. Their workers don't fear being fired so many of them are lazy pieces of shit.
I've been getting my mail delivered after 6pm, in the dark. What the fuck is the mail boy doing all day to not get done before dinner?
2 weeks ago I actually had to go to the post office to pick up a registered letter and this asshole behind the desk was studying for what looked like some post service test until he finally decided to help me. What the fuck is he reading at the front desk?
These assholes are protected by their unions, so they work slower and cost USPS more money on getting the mission done. They know it takes an act of God to fire them especially if they are a minority worker or so-called disabled.
This is what happens when the union cancer gets into an organization.
If there's no money to be made sending stuff to Aunt Gertie in the sticks, they won't do that.
Bullshit. Aunt Gert could get deliveries, just not at the price you find convenient.
What if aunt Gertie is on a fixed income?
I would like to see the post office brought back into the government and ran as an enterprise fund. It's part of our Constitution and is the only legal way to send first class mail so keep it but bring it under the government and disband the union (no need for unions in government work). The way it is being ran now is irresponsible. Either make them a government department or change the postal laws and stop funding them with government money.

You need government unions for the same reason you need private sector unions.
To keep those in charge from abusing their authority.
As someone who uses the USPS a lot for business, I'm irritated that anyone would want to fuck with it.
Well isn't that nice...taxpayers forced to pay up so you can keep costs down in your business. Your own little slice of cronyism. Lovely.
Thanks for the laugh.
BTW, does that private company get to steal money from customers that aren't their customers? Probably why they'd be more expensive, eh?
So I guess by you spinning off-topic, you don't have an answer?
Uh, the PO has a legal monopoly on first class mail. It is therefore impossible to identify a competitor that could do it better, even though any rational person knows the private sector is always more efficient...competition and all forces that.
Well once again the post office isn't a business...
Doesn't mean it shouldn't be replaced by many businesses.
And there is no private business that can compete with the post office when it comes to most packages and letters.
Again, private companies are prevented by law from delivering letters. With regard to other packages, UPS, FedEX, DHL, etc would disagree. As would many of their customers.
I seriously do not understand why you're not getting this.
Such is the case with most people on the receiving end of a service made possible with other people's money.
I say it's time for you to pay for your own delivery service.
If there's no money to be made sending stuff to Aunt Gertie in the sticks, they won't do that.

Only to be abused by the union leaders? Great plan.
And you like just another "Give me my gubmint stuff" recipient. Lots of you these days.
Are you really going to claim the post office is now an entitlement program?
You sure as hell claim to be entitled to it. And according to the Constitution, you are. I'm saying the time for a national post office has passed. Time to amend. Time for you to pay for the services your business requires without taking from taxpayers. Not so hard to understand really.
We're not going to agree on this and frankly I think you're a moron. Thankfully though your opinion means nothing and I'll continue to have a cheap efficient means to conduct my business. Thanks for your tax dollars asshole.
Reverting to multiple ad hominem attacks in lieu of logic or reason...typical.
Anyway, good luck with all that. And good luck keeping your cheap delivery service made possible through theft. It's not like the country is running out of money or anything...
If you don't understand why a government postal service that's efficient and cheap is necessary for a society to conduct business, then all I can do is call you a fucking moron and move on. When you move out of your parents' house maybe you'll understand.
And yeah, it's the post office that's bleeding this country dry. Not the wars, fucked up tax system, or a whole gang of corruption. Nope, it's actually the best, most beneficial and most efficient thing the government does.

Private secter is more efficient, but not cheaper.
Given that it is a Washington (Moonie) Times article we can automatically assume that they are omitting key information
How did their Retirement Account grow? Was it through their own contributions? Was it from mandated matching contributions? Was it from increases in the stock market?
My Retirement Account grew last year....but it wasn't from compensation
I suspect another Washington Times propaganda piece
What are they going to do when Moon's heirs cash out the Cult and close down the paper?
i'm sure there will be many more places for them to get propaganda, lies and fauxrage. it's who they are.
reality:
The chief of the struggling U.S. Postal Service received $384,229 in compensation last year
Postal chief's pay under fire from lawmaker - Mar. 2, 2012
that said... the postmaster general still shouldn't earn almost what the president does.
Private secter is more efficient, but not cheaper.
it isn't more efficient.
and things that operate in the public interest shouldn't be 'for profit'... there is no incentive to ACT in the public interest when profits are involved. that seems to be the part of the equation that the brainwashed right has a problem with.
Agreed: public sector jobs should not operate for profit.
However, public sector jobs should not be created when their function can be satisfied in the private sector.
The USPS is obsolete.

not according to many business people on my route.......and regular people.....you would be surprised,i was,at how many people do not care for UPS or Fed-X....people think they dont fuck up.....believe me they do and have.....their delivery people are no better than the Postal Carrier.....and all 3 of us would like to not have to deliver what the others do.....there is enough shit to go around....

My point was that when the U.S. Constitution was written, 200+ years ago. the USPS served a unique and critical purpose.
Now, private enterpise can do the job: Plus there are many technological advances (telegraph, telephone, cellular, fax, email) that can substitute most USPS functions that are 200 years old.
I never asserted that any method of delivery was perfect.
