Again I’m going to give it to you straight the USPS is not like ANY other Fed Agency
They are required to pay the Government BILLIONs
Lawmakers, both parties & the presidents ALL use the USPS as their piñata & as a bargain chip.
It’s FOUL but predictable

This is not my opinions, these are the stone cold brutal FACTs;
the USPS by LAW is required to pay BILLIONS to the Govt
“USPS’s required payments in fiscal year 2016 include a statutory required payment of $5.8 billion to prefund retiree health benefits.”

In March 2020 the GAO reported,

FY 2018 USPS generated $10.5B in revenue v $5B to operate, making them profitable overall.
But BECAUSE of the LAW USPS has to pay the Government- if you sense my frustration that’s intended

This is WHY I am pretty pissed off because both Congress & Trump are playing GAMES
Congress has known about this UNFAIR LAW FOR YEARS
The issue is who the president is & what he’s prone to do.
He’s PISSED that USPS & Amazon inked a deal that made the USPS flush with liquidity
Let me brake this down - every OTHER FEDERAL AGENCY picks up the cost for employee benefits
Yet the USPS by LAW must fund theirs & pay the Government
It’s known colloquially as “an uneven playing field” those are the FACTs not an opinion

Lastly Trump didn’t create the USPS collision course for financial insolvency DC created it, Congress & past Administrations
The problem is Trump is a sociopath & he’s transactional
He’s also guided by revenge.
He’s PISSED the stimulus had a $10B loan & loan forgiveness...
To the House Democrats credit they wanted $25B to help the USPS stay “afloat” but that fucking dick-wad “mitch” put in poison pills. So the Dems agreed to $10B but the notion that the USPS would cease to be or “that this is Trump’s master plan to fuck up the 2020 election”
STOP
Unless you can disprove the body of facts I’ve laid out & linked.
That Trump is an evil genius and he had the forethought to make OUR USPS go under before the Nov 2020 election, show me a memo, letter anything to prove that shit.
I am TIRED of conspiracies - stick to the FACTs
