re: #151 Lanzman

So there’s a Post Office meme? Fascinating.

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.

Did you know establishment of postal service is explicitly authorized by the US Constitution? Now, this might really knock your socks off, but the Constitution calls for the establishment of Postal Service and availability of this service to all citizens. It does not call for a business like venture, mandating that the US Post Office make money, only that citizens have access to this service.

With that being said —- the Post Office takes a piece of paper in my hand here in Tampa Fl, and will deliver it to my sister in Sacramento, Ca in 4 days all for the whopping cost of .44 cents. Yea…..real terrible gubmint run program there

:rolleyes:
