Very informative video. this is horrible news for the future of the DNMs. What do you guys think about all this? Discuss
EDIT: For those that don't want to watch the entire thing, basically this:
The USPS has not directly received taxpayer-dollars since the early 1980s with the minor exception of subsidies for costs associated with the disabled and overseas voters.[5] Since the 2006 all-time peak mail volume,[6] after which Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act,[7] (which mandated $5.5 billion per year to be paid into an account to fully prefund both employee retirement health and pension benefits, a requirement exceeding that of other government and private organizations [8]), revenue dropped sharply due to recession-influenced[9] declining mail volume,[10] prompting the postal service to look to other sources of revenue while cutting costs to reduce its budget deficit.[11] The USPS lost US$ 5 billion in 2013, and its revenue was US$ 66 billion.
I'm on mobile so I can't watch the video until I get home. In the meantime can someone ELI5 why privatizing mail service is a bad thing comparable to a dystopian country?
