If the Post Office is closed down--at least partially in the fall-- by congress, how will that effect your business?

@nocoolnamejaneand @muskingum_relics ...Bernie Sanders took his honeymoon in Moscow, USSR in 1988...the few final year of the Cold War...USSR collapsed on 12/26/1991...
...Bernie Sanders indeed earlier openly declared his socialist political view...
...his honeymoon trip to the USSR earned him a nickname "Bolshevik Bernie"...

I don't know what the figures are for USPS, but Canada Post gets 16% of its income from "junk mail".
Letter mail is way way down, but parcel delivery is way way up.
A lot of what is delivered is subcontracted from private couriers who find it cheaper to use CPO for delivery to rural and isolated areas.
You won't find that guy in brown shorts delivering in Tuktoyaktuk.
I believe the same is true of USPS.
A senior officer was saying a couple of years ago that parcel delivery was back up to the levels of the Edwardian era, and she predicted that online commerce would take them even higher.
Canada Post must answer to Parliament which sets the rates for First Class Mail (92c for 30grams) and Registered Mail ($9.75+ regular postage domestically) which is part of the reason for the move to the "barcoded" services like Expedited and Priority Post.
It would not surprise me if USPS is much the same.
By the way, CPO is profitable most years, because the union was able to fight off attempts to burden the corporation with the same dort of idiotic pension funding that was foisted on USPS.

I didn't say the Post Office has closed. The mailman just picked up my eBay sales this morning. But the Post Office has been in financial stress for a number of years, and it hasn't been a favorite of Republican administrations for some time, who would like to privatize it. The recent Coronavirus bail-out package propped up the airlines, but funds Democrats earmarked for the Post Office to keep it afloat were rejected by the Republican party. I've read other articles recently that state the Post Office might be insolvent by September. I've also read articles that conjecture that the Post Office will remain, but a few thousand local Post Offices countrywide may be closed.

Sad that the mentality of some Americans are delusional. Long ago, in the 80s, they claimed Reagan as their leader, and if he were alive today, he would spit on the face of a party in love with the old KGB member Putin, and his killing Americans all over and now dictator for life in Russia. The unstoppable love from this president towards him is a tell tale.
He voted by mail, because he is allowed to. No others can do what he does, and governors have to do what he says, total power he says, a dictator in the make . Voter suppression should be avoided, otherwise, we should stop our service men from doing so, something they do every time there are elections.
My mail carrier is not worried about the unfunded USPS anymore, he is retiring at the end of this year. He laughs at the stupidity of a party not looking out for the welfare of the majority.
But we should, this is going to affect us all. UPS and Fedex won't be able to deliver on time, nor at a cheaper cost.
We need a change of course in America. We don't need more **bleep** "I have everything in control" but later blaming others for his ineptitude, the death of 30,000 Americans are on his watch, period!
If you haven't paid for your item, you're a winning bidder, not a buyer!

If the Post Office (USPS) is privatized I could see the cost of shipping a 8oz first class package
to be like $10.

I'm sure the Post Office will get funding somehow. That would really cripple small and large businesses if they shut down. It would definitely kill my business.

The entire country depends on the USPS to move mail around.
A wise one here pointed out that this is an election year.
I'm not too worried about the post office closing down.
