The United States Postal Service lost $4.5 billion last year. It projects losses of $600 million this year. To stanch the bleeding, the USPS recently announced a reorganization plan:
The change will create two “focal points” for the agency, one to deal with shipping and mailing services and the other to work with customers and others outside the post office.
A better idea would be to end the monopoly that the USPS now enjoys. It is literally a federal crime for anyone else to deliver mail. Competition will provide a much stronger incentive than “focal points” for the USPS to shape up.
Inertia Wins!
