Comment Comment by nickthemagicman I completely agree with you. With a quick Google search.USPS operating budget 82 billion.FedEx operating budget 4 billion.Obviously this is not a complete comparison and you would need to also include volume and other metrics to get closer to the truth.But this is potentially a canary in the coal mine for how inefficient the USPS.It's possible that the Democrats are saying that the Republicans are attacking the post office to get a political win.But in actuality the Republicans may be searching for more efficiency.I don't know if any of this is true but this is another viewpoint. parent nickthemagicman 5 years ago
USPS operating budget 82 billion.
FedEx operating budget 4 billion.
Obviously this is not a complete comparison and you would need to also include volume and other metrics to get closer to the truth.
But this is potentially a canary in the coal mine for how inefficient the USPS.
It's possible that the Democrats are saying that the Republicans are attacking the post office to get a political win.
But in actuality the Republicans may be searching for more efficiency.
I don't know if any of this is true but this is another viewpoint.
