Just pull money out their ass like they've been doing for everything else. Problem solved.

maybe it was never a sustainable model

It is, but from what I remember the public programs don't have the same protections the private ones do so that's led to some unfavorable results.

Call it a covid emergency, throw a Pentagon contract its way and call it good. Use one of those wartime powers to force it to do so.

I remember I flew to Toronto a few years ago & started debating politics with a few canadians.

They said being slable to get your mail is a human right.
I was like really.....

But even canada has its problems

Is it time to get rid of Canada Post?

USPS always claiming they about to run out of money.
They just want to get out of their pre-paid pension, and rob their retirees and current workers retirement accounts.
Fact is they need to close post offices and up prices if they want to be solvent, if they can't fire the post master general and get someone in there who will downsize and automate.

If the USPS went out of business, that would mean UPS would be in big trouble because they ironically need the USPS to finish most of their routes; they don't have enough locations to serve everywhere, so rural areas would be wiped off and big cities would thrive.

Amazon despite its size, would be unable to meet the demand and become a private carrier. It would probably threaten them in a good way.

There would be no way a small business would survive, and would kill off some medium sized business. So with them out of a job, you would be looking at a depression event since no one would be buying houses, or cars. Which in turn eliminates jobs with construction and auto repair since they wouldn't be needed.

The only good thing about this, is that it's in the constitution itself.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution, known as the Postal Clause or the Postal Power, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and Post Roads".

And in order to change it.

Under Article V of the Constitution, there are two ways to propose and ratify amendments to the Constitution. To propose amendments, two-thirds of both houses of Congress can vote to propose an amendment, or two-thirds of the state legislatures can ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. To ratify amendments, three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve them, or ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states must approve them.

Imagine believing the market, specifically Amazon wouldn’t find a way to meet this demand.
I’m sure it’d be part of any govt. contract a carrier received.

I swear that 98% of the public parrot something that they heard someone else say. They're like that guy Matt Damon's character sonned in Good Will Hunting.

Your post was the equivalent of "How Ya Like Dem Apples".
