re: #151 Lanzman
The Post Office operates at a loss just about every year. It borrows from the treasury to cover the difference. I’d not assign a lot of “competence” to that, regardless of whether the mail gets there on time.
Then you’re not really understanding the mission of the Post Office.
They have to deliver to every address in the United States, no matter how remote, at the same rates.
You’re complaining, apparently, that they overspend in doing so. Can you point to another organization that is more competent than them in a similar mission?
