The USPS is a service and was never intended to make a huge profit. Neither is SS, or Medicare. They are services and GOP continually mess with them as their main goal is to destroy all three of these services. This is why they keep jacking up the prices which is insane. They just want to destroy the USPS. How about everyone mail a letter once a week to one of your loved ones. Send a card or letter for absolutely no reason at all except sending a hug by mail to your sweeties.
