Correct! There is a little town near here with a population of less than 2,000 that has it's own PO....Just a couple miles away is a larger town that also has it's own PO....Both towns could easily be serviced by one office. Each town has a postmaster. A position that no doubt pays quite a hefty sum. That is WASTE.They wouldn't have to trim anything if they didn't have to provide 75 years worth of retirement and medical. Did you even read the link?
The point is they need to trim things, there are post offices all over the country that have very little business and have other offices within a few miles of them. These post offices need to be closed, but the union is fighting it tooth and nail. I drive by a post office on a regular basis and rarely see a car there, why are we paying to keep it open? Also would you really miss Saturday delivery, I know I wouldn't, so why pay for it. You can choose to stand up for union excess, I don't, so we can agree to disagree.
apparently it was mandated that there be a PO for every zip code.....
There is a ton of fat that can be trimmed before anything else is proposed.
Yes, I would miss Saturday delivery. We have two post offices in this city of 84,000 people and they're are crowded every time I go, both of them and no parking spaces to be found. Usually have to park in the grocery store parking lot next door.
Don't know what post office you're driving by, but are you sure you're driving by when it's open?
It's in a little community called Dobin, TX which might have a sprawling population of 60 or so. As for you other question, I've been around long enough to know postal hours.
Do you think your small community should have no post office?

In order to be self sustaining, it SHOULD turn a profit.Correct!

You're talking about the Post Office as if its purpose is to generate profit.

Our post office is not "broke," our government is destroying it

So where were are you when congress is destroying private companies instead of a government entity?

Service first, as efficiently as possible, but always service before profit.
Anyone who puts profit in government before service needs to be booted out.

Why do you believe the two must be mutually exclusive?

It was neither Tu quoque nor an analogy. It was not a statement of contradiction. You consistently love government, that was my point. Not that you're inconsistent in not liking capitalism, you consistently don't.

Congress: Stop Destroying Our Postal Service
See, in 2006 George W. Bushs Republican Congress signed a bill to effectively kill the Postal Service, requiring it to pre-fund their workers health benefits *75 YEARS* into the future.
No country, corporation or government service has EVER been required to fund the full retiree health benefits for workers that arent even born yet there is literally no financial reason to do so unless you wanted to kill the Postal Service for purely ideological reasons.
Tu quoque doesn't work here. False analogy.
In what way is it false?
Because you made a statement without any evidence.

That makes it unsubstantiated, it doesn't make it "false."
