The two combined come nowhere near what I earned while employed. It rankles when people who have no direct knowledge present unfounded crud that "everyone knows" as fact. End of rant.
So, why did the U.S. Postmaster recently acknowledge that the agency lost over $10 billion in fy 2015 and 2016? The U.S. Postal Service's own fiscal reports show that they lose money every year. Look it up. Isn't that direct knowledge?
