Sounds about right.



"Self funded." I like that. Too bad it needs billions in government subsidies to survive. But this might surprise you; I'm usually for the USPS, considering its mission is actually called for within the Constitution. I just think it does a horribly overexpensive job of things. I once worked as a Christmas casual at a large mail sort center, shortly after I retired from the military. The spousal unit threatened to divorce me if I didn't get out of her hair and quit rearranging all the socks in the sock drawers, so I was trapped. Anyway, talk about dysfunction among employees. And as a frequent Ebay seller I try, if at all possible to NEVER use USPS if I can help it (I get a nice discount from UPS). They've screwed up my shipments, been late on some, damaged others (and then have taken forever to pay off on a claim) and waiting in line at my eternally slow local post office, to be treated rudely by some of the clerks, is like standing in line waiting to have a tooth extraction from Joe Mengele, in my opinion. The decor at that PO is similar to Soviet-era "industrial design" and I feel even dumber than I normally feel just by having spent an hour in line at that place. And nobody there seems to care about much of anything, least of all customer service.
