Not necessarily, they are extremely efficient at spending money and taking away freedoms!

Don't you mean "inefficient"? . . . USPS lost revenue due to the ever growing internet use of email and text, not necessarily due to inefficiency on the workers part. Why spend .xx cents on a stamp to send a letter when you can send it anywhere via the above free? Think about it.

Meaning, the rest of the Government is even worse.

The USPS is currently "buying employees jobs" as a local postal worker just got early retirement by having her job bought out by the USPS. I don't know if that includes the retirement benefits or not.
Some of the railroads used to do the same thing......maybe still do. I'm thinking the benefits end when the job is bought out.

Wife wants Christmas stamps. Rather than risk exposure to covid I ordered stamps over the internet. I figured they would forward request to the local post office and stamps would be in my mailbox the next day. Wrong.
Stamps were ordered Wed. and they sent me a tracking number. So far the stamps went from Kansas City to Madison to Milwaukee to Oshkosh to Wausau to Rhinelander and hopefully to Three Lakes and me today. By the time I get them they will probably be too smashed up to lay flat!

This week a Covid preventative vaccine manufacturer applied for emergency approval during this pandemic infecting and killing so many people.
Why then has the FDA scheduled a meeting for December 10 to consider the request.? They should be doing that this week !

The current administration oversees the FDA until January 20th 2021. With all the law suits and political aspects taking place at these times the date may have been set as states like WI which is a swing state will certify the election on December 1st. The date for the meeting may have been set at an earlier time if there was not all the contesting and legal issues taking place at this time.
Another aspect is an independent committee is going through all the information and data from the firm and December 10th is the date chosen to offer their opinion(s) to the FDA.

I would think that the loss of revenue by less letters being shipped was more than made up for by the large amounts of bigger items being sold online? Oh and dont forget they raise there rates quite often.

You mean no more Ponzi schemes???? How many positions that don't exist do they have to pre-fund. One or one hundred thousand.
