Yeah, I don’t fault the drivers tbh it’s a shit job, they need better pay and support, and I feel like, despite the right thing to dismantle it, USPS is still the best to work for and it shows. Mail service is just that, a SERVICE. It doesn’t need to be a business, I wish we’d stop talking about USPS like it needs to be profitable. It’s necessary! Sure optimize it where you can without fucking over workers, but it doesn’t matter if it’s profitable because it’s purpose is to deliver mail not make a profit.
The mentality of profitablity over everything else is so toxic. Even a business should want to provide a service and profit enough to grow at a reasonable rate, not maximize profit and everything else second.
