No question that the model of the post office is very broken and has been for years.

Part of it is a mandate from the govt including funding pensions for a ridiculous amount of time as well as underpricing services like delivering packages for Amazon< No way can they make a profit doing next day delivery including weekends.

First class mail is way down and will continue to decrease based on the world we live in and lets face it 55 cents for a stamp is too little.

At some point they do have to fix this, why not now?

Newman is available and according to the Peter principle is available to undertake the task.

PS: Lets see if anyone gets the reference.
