As part of new tariffs on Chinese imports, President Donald Trump eliminated an exemption for small packages, vastly increasing the amount of parcels US Customs and Border Protection needs to inspect.
the entire premise of your “point” is mind-bogglingly wrong. the USPS doesn’t make money, it costs money, just like any other org run by the government
how much revenue is the US military raking in? or are they “operating at a loss” too?
talking about ending the USPS because it’s “losing money” is the most bone-headed bullshit take on anything, ever. period
Indeed. The biggest con of the cons was getting everyone talking about government as if it should model itself after business (with the implicit, built-in assumption that business is an unqualified good, no less, so it’s two-fer).
Business are run as private tyrannies. Government should definitely not be operated like a business.

Since the Postal Reorganization Act came into effect in 1971, the USPS has been mandated to be self-financing and rely solely on revenue from stamps and package deliveries to support itself. In 1982, postal stamps were changed to be categorized as products rather than a form of taxation, and since then, the Postal Service has no longer received taxpayer funding.
