I see - so far the majority here in the thread are optimists who think that everything that is American is great - and that Trump will make it even greater!
It has now come to light that the US postal service is underfinanced and that the Republican Party under D. Trump planned do weaken it still further.
Do you still think that the US postal service is the best in the world - like all US things are always the best things in the world?
asking an American if he knows whether Maine and Hawaii are in the same country
... intentions to bash the USPS, something you know zero about?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Postal Service faced more questions and a federal lawsuit Wednesday over mail disruptions, despite assurances by President Donald Trump’s postmaster general of no more service changes until after the November election — a pledge made only after a public outcry.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told her he has no intention of restoring removed blue mailboxes or sorting equipment and no plans for employee overtime. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said officials are withholding information about DeJoy’s selection to the job. With the agency in turmoil, civil and voting rights advocates are suing to bring mail operations back to normal.
Pelosi, D-Calif., said she told DeJoy in a phone call that his decision for a temporary pause was “wholly insufficient and does not reverse damage already wreaked.”
The uproar over the Postal Service is expected to spill out Friday as DeJoy testifies before the Senate, and Saturday as the House convenes for a rare session. The House is set to vote on legislation to reverse the service changes and provide $25 billion to shore up operations.
Widespread mail disruptions have stunned Americans and led to warnings that Trump is trying to undermine the Postal Service as he rails against mail-in ballots just as millions of people are trying vote absentee to avoid polling places during the COVID-19 crisis.

The Post Office is really nothing more than guaranteed government jobs that accomplish nothing at the expense of taxpayers.
For the bosses there, maybe.
But not for the workers.
That's just ridiculous.
Everyone at the Post Office makes decent money with good benefits, at the expense of taxpayers. Taxpayers are paying them salary and benefits for delivering junk mail that no one wants in the first place. The Post Office has no purpose other than paying people for doing nothing, the liberal Utopia, which is why Democrats are so big on the Post Office.
I see ....
You only want to play Trump's trumpet.

The post office is constitutionally mandated.
I realize you don't have much use for the constitution, but there it is.

The USPS should be abolished. They serve no useful purpose, particularly in Alaska where they don't even cover the majority of the State. They don't even issue ZIP Codes, much less deliver mail to more than two-thirds of the State. Every town and village west of Bethel, for example, must share Bethel's ZIP Code and have their mail picked up and delivered by private pilots. UPS, DHL, and FedEx have no problem delivering mail and packages to remote villages, or even delivering to my door, but the USPS won't.
Why are we paying for a government service that isn't being provided?
