> However USPS and Amtrek NEED to be run more like a business. The fact they have not been for decades is part of the problem with the services.
Considering Republicans have been trying to kill the USPS for a hundred years with increasingly restrictive policy changes and increasingly impossibly tight budgets (considering the scope of their task with heavy competition), I think you are entirely mistaken about where the problems are. That the USPS operates at all under such absurd restraints and tight budget is nothing short of miraculous. The problem lies elsewhere, namely, with the major political party that would strongly prefer no government services, and no government, really. Other areas of the world call them anarchists; here we call them Republicans.
Did you mean to respond to the parent comment? I was just quoting them; I don't agree at all that they should be run as a business, which I think should be clear from the part of my comment that isn't a quote
Believing that the Republicans are anarchists is just laughable. I would like it if they were, I prefer a much smaller government than what the Republicans desire.
