@XLR8OR100 Wrong! UPS and FedEx are nearly penny for penny the same for list rates. Now keep in mind that if you are online comparing UPS and FedEx rates and are NOT using your account number, you will be quoted on "counter rates", which are higher than list. Oh, and you do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that if you call FedEx/UPS customer service and ask to have your rep call you, they will more than likely give you a generous discount on general principle.
WOW!!! If their funding comes from 100% of postage sales they would have declared bankruptcy decades ago. The Post Office operates at a loss. Think about sending a 40 cent letter from the US to Hawaii...that kind of prcing won't survive in the private sector. If it did you would see UPS or FedEx adopt this. One could start by stopping the Congress-mandated pre-funding of retirement, a burden no other government has to fulfill.
@blackjac5000 Yeah man. The post office is vilified. But in no way do they operate entirely off of sales. They have to be subsidized because they have to compete with the private sector but are legally not allowed to compete. It's a stupid situation.
@Hoboinaboxdestroyer There are several girls' names that began as boys names: Tracy, Stacy, Kimberly, Lindsey, Ashley. Dylan's becoming a gender-neutral name, as well as Jamie and Carson.
@DEEPGNOSTIC Actually, the Post Office's funding comes 100% from postage sales, not from any amount of taxation. Try doing actual research rather than going off whatever Fox Opinion or AM talk radio is yammering simply to get attention.
Usps fucking sucks.

Yep. I'd be pretty pissed my parents thought it would be a good idea to name me Stacy however. :)
