How in the world did the government spending get so far off the tracks? In less than a month Elon will and his 20 year olds will pry 1 trillion dollars out of the politicians cold dead hands. will

Do these numbers include the packages USPS delivers on behalf of Amazon?

Are you defending the business acumen and/or the actions of the usps?

Thanks.  Looks like the answer to my question is no.  Table goes back to 2015. “Mail volume” dropped from 154B to 116B, but “delivery points” increased from 155M to 166.6M.  “Career employees” increased from 492K to 525K.  So delivery points increased by 7.5%, but career employees increased by less than 7%.

“Lake Boss”‘s post was misleading, shocker.  No clue where the 80% number is coming from, even compared to the “peak” in your screenshot it’s 45% (and again referring to mail only).  And the number of employees is down significantly since then - https://about.usps.com/who/profile/history/employees-since-1926.htm

Simply pointing out that they’ve had a significant increase in workload in recent years due to Amazon.  Even often working on Sundays.

How did they lose almost 10 billion dollars?    Why weren’t people fired?   Private sector people work on weekends all the time why should we care sometimes they work on Sunday

Probably a good question for the current Postmaster General who first got in that position in 2020 under Trump

Letter delivery is dead.

USPS is costing taxpayers a fortune in pensions.

USPS bends over backwards for Amazon because it has no work otherwise.

$65 billion lost in 10 years.

Shut it down.

They have something like a 10 year plan to get back to profitability.   Crazy this level of incompetence is allowed.   Who cares right it’s just our $$$$$.

Sounds like a great opportunity to thoughtfully reform and improve the USPS system to solve the existing problems.

"Shut it down"?

You sound just like one of those "Defund the Police" idiots who can't comprehend the concept of solving problems.

They’re still going to owe the pensions though right?
