stevenash Posted November 15, 2017 Report Posted November 15, 2017 While FedEx and UPS both remain profitable enterprises, the U.S. Postal service just announced an annual loss of 2.7 billion dollars. Could all of you advocates of more government explain why we need more government intervention in conducting or controlling the conduct of businesses in this country? Is it because Bernie and Elizabeth Warren think that is the way to go? 77 1 Quote
TROJANSWIN Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 Sadly Both UPS and FedEx use the postal service to deliver packages for them. They make money by charging you to deliver and then paying the post office to deliver it for them!! Besides, what kind of business comes up with the idea that if you come to my office and pick up your stuff I charge you a yearly fee, but I will deliver it to you for free all year? Pizza Hut and Dominos both figured out it costs more for delivery than take out, but the post office works backwards! Quote

stevenash Posted November 20, 2017 Author Report Posted November 20, 2017 Seems like there is one set of rules for Business and another for Government run business. I don't think I need to tell you which is better operated. Quote
LumRaiderFan Posted November 21, 2017 Report Posted November 21, 2017 Well, at least they have Constitutional Authority to waste this money. Quote

Reagan Posted November 21, 2017 Report Posted November 21, 2017 If I remember right a few years back they were going to eliminate Saturday delivery by August. What ever happened to that? Quote
