Come on. Which parts of our government actually make money?

I'm pretty sure you meant one week per year of service, but even this is untrue according to the USPS web site: "Full-time and regular part time employees of the USPS get different amounts of vacation time depending on seniority: Employes with Less than 3 years USPS service get 13 days per year Those with 3-15 years USPS service get 20 days per year. Those with 15 or more years service get 26 days of paid time off per year. US Postal Service Employee Benefit: Vacation & Paid Time Off | Glassdoor
Having had both family & friends that worked for the USPS, I know that (at least in years past) Postal employees could bank part of their leave time, so it's entirely possible that the carrier you knew had that much time available, but they can't earn that much leave annually.

False. Just plain anti-union, fake 'facts'. They can even be jailed for "Delay or destruction of mail or newspapers." 18 U.S. Code SS 1703 - Delay or destruction of mail or newspapers | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute
