This is the thing. We don't even have to bail out the USPS. All we have to do, the one and only thing, is to get rid of the insane GOP law requiring it to prefund 75 years worth of pensions for its 650,000 employees.
No other company in the country bears such an onerous burden. https://twitter.com/brianschatz/status/1249051269559287808

Why did the GOP make the USPS prefund 75 years of future pensions?
Because they've had a bone to kill it and privatize mail delivery for their rich donors for three decades.
Why won't they get rid of it now?
Because they know it will kill vote-by-mail and lower turnout.

Couple other fun facts about @USPS.
1) It's entirely self-funded, by law, and has not taken a penny of taxpayer money in a very long time.
2) It's the only government agency whose existence and continual operation is CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED. It is illegal for the USPS to end.

Getting the feeling a lot of you didn't know about the pension thing before now...
