From AI:

"The U.S. Postal Service reported a net loss of $9.5 billion in fiscal year 2024." This is from their own report.

For those pointing to the funding of retirement benefits, these are real costs to the taxpayers. It really doesn't matter how or when the costs are entered into their budget, they are real costs that must be paid. When an employee retires at age 55, he/she is likely to receive a pension, health benefits, and other benefits for 30 years or longer, while doing no work.
