@adafruit The postal service is a service. Like the armed services it shouldn't be expected to be profitable because it provides a necessary function for people who want an effective way to move small stuff around.
Having said that I guess America also expects is armed service to return a profit by stealing resources from countries it invades.
Yeah, okay. Point taken.

@wooramel @adafruit I'd love to see them justify that accounting on paper. "Well, the military is costing the taxpayers trillions, but we HAVE enriched a lot of billionaires with that money!" It's absolutely mad to expect the postal service to turn a profit. May as well turn all roads into toll roads and expect that to create a positive on the balance sheet... But I shouldn't give the bastards ideas!
