The USPS, as currently constituted, can’t be “fixed” by anyone. They’re supposed to be an independent, self-funding entity - but when they inevitably run short of money they ask Congress for funding and/or increase rates. If they stopped trying to compete with for-profit package delivery/small parcel shipping companies, focused solely on moving and delivering nothing else except what fits in a standard rural delivery mailbox, pared down their workforce to match that function they probably could make revenue match expenses. But that will never happen - even with all the “cuts” they’ve made (in the government world asking for a smaller increase in next year’s budget compared to last year’s requested increase is defined as a budget cut) by closing centers and post offices, consolidating sorting operations, reducing employee benefits they’ve made next to zero impact on their biggest cost - which is salaries and benefits expenses. If anyone with any level of real control over the USPS was truly serious about increasing their effectiveness and efficiency they’d negotiate contracts with the other delivery services - they’d get a great rate considering the volume - for package delivery and cut the number of employees commiseratively. But nothing like that will ever happen - we’ll just let them bump along as is, providing less than stellar service trying to be everything to everyone, until the whole mess collapses under the weight of of impossible to meet legacy costs. Then we’ll cook up some other high-minded sounding government entity with a new set of initials with pretty much the same folks in charge with the same inherent flaws that’s supposed to be a new improved Post Office and start the whole cycle over again.
