So what you’re saying is it’s hemorrhaging money during the unprecedented explosion in package shipping volumes.

Remember, that “pension” everyone likes to mention is there because USPS pays its workers peanuts compared to eg UPS.

I worked at both for a short time in the early 2000s and I got paid more at USPS than I did at UPS. USPS was more reliable than UPS as far as employment and overall a better place to work. As a matter of fact UPS ranks as one of the worst places I ever worked at. The amount of screaming and yelling between management and workers that goes on there is some of the worse I have ever seen at any work place I've been at.
