1. USPS is not a business. It is a service and does not have to make a profit.

2. Yes, some of the replies are pointing that out. Here's one:

Why do they keep saying the Post Office *lost* money? They were underfunded. The Military didn't *lose* $700 Billion last year.

14. I don't Twitter so I didn't see all the reactions. Sorry.

3. Generally, the USPS is self-funding and doesn't receive tax dollars

Oh, and the defense department has a *massive* loss, as does basically every other government agency.

6. Right!

I would not give them money until decent people are running it though, or else they will steal it, just like with covid relief!

4. The Military loses money every year...

Let's get rid of the Marines, Army, Air Force, Green Berets, Coast Guard, Navy, an especially tRump, who is a MASTER of losing money.

5. The law Bush signed

In 2006 that requires health benefits and pensions for postal employees to be funded 75 years out needs to be repealed. This costs the USPS billions every year. No government agency or private business is required to do this.

7. Prejudicial!

Can they fight this?

[BigMin28]

8. The USPS can't

But Congress can repeal any law.

[SheltieLover]

9. Thx

Ridiculous!

[BigMin28]

10. Your welcome!

Also remember, the USPS in normal times, doesn't receive any taxpayer funding. This law is what is hurting the postal service. It was meant to when written and passed.

16. How is it being politicized, doesn't everyone get mail?

[MomInTheCrowd]

18. Election interference by those in power

[Walleye]

20. I can hardly believe I'm seeing this happen. It's sick

21. Supporters Usually Fail to Tie the USPS's Financial Woes To Having to Fund 75 Years of Pension Costs
