Although since you think we are 99% to fascism I am not optimistic.

The post office is not required to do "last mile delivery". They do it because it IS profitable for them. The post office is going to all mailboxes anyway so it does not cost them extra to take third party packages. It also creates efficiency for companies like UPS and Fedex so it is a Win-Win for both sides. BTW it was Trump who attacked the post office for last mile delivery because he hates Amazon.

All companies are required to pre-fund retirement under the ERISA Act. The bill requiring funding by the post office was passed by Congress in 2006. It had a ten year window which expired in 2016. Starting in 2009 Congress waived the yearly funding requirement and the post office stopped making payments. So that can't be blamed for any cash shortage on the balance sheet because they are not paying.

FedEx quit caring when COVID hit al_liberal Aug 2021 #13

Technically, mistaking 2 for a 5 is something a dyslexic might do. 2Gingersnaps Aug 2021 #47

This op works with special needs children. Her use of ableist slurs is troubling. Treefrog Aug 2021 #51

Agreed kcr Aug 2021 #56

The OP did not use slurs, the person you responded to in this thread is not the OP. MerryBlooms Aug 2021 #60

The op has edited. She DID use a slur. Treefrog Aug 2021 #64

Please accept my apology, I did not see the original. MerryBlooms Aug 2021 #65
