USPS, like many govt agencies, needs to improve efficiencies, by consolidating, reducing, and pricing. As a former federal govt and military member, I witnessed much of that. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to execute that with our congress. The military has been trying to modernize, while trying to consolidate/reduce where it's not needed, but they're continually blocked. They have been trying to execute another BRAC(Base Realignment and Closure), along with eliminating equipment/airframes/operations(etc), for years! But, the Senate/Congress have prevented that, as they don't want those reductions in THEIR BACKYARD(s)! So, I'm sure this will be/has been an issue in USPS operations. So, guess where the problem lies?!
