You’re incorrect mostly because the postal service (pretty famously at least in leftist spaces) DID make money (not every year admittedly). In fact, by law (aka cuz capitalists got mad) the post office is expected to ensure pricing covers the cost of fulfillment so the market stays competitive. Arguably, the main reason it is facing difficulties is because the government tried to force some bs payments onto it that were reversed by Biden in 2022. Regardless, you’re kind of making my point? It really feels like people are not reading what I wrote. The argument that a government agency needs funding and therefore can’t be a source of cost cutting or revenue is a bad argument. Governments require money to function. If the agency costs money, saves money, or makes money, it doesn’t matter. At some point, money will need to be allocated to it, even if it’s just to start it up. Saying “it costs money so that a problem” doesn’t make sense as an argument, even if it’s used against doge.
For clarity: I AM PRO POST OFFICE AND ANTI DOGE.
