Interesting that solvency was not one of the factors considered. I wonder how the USPS would have perform if they had to break even much not be a parasite on the taxpayers.
UPS and FedEx get government subsidies in the form of the interstate high way system, US federal highways, state highways and county and city roads. They also enjoy government services in air-traffic control. So the idea that UPS and FedEx are totally private and get no help from the taxpayers is false. They can also enjoy taxpayer funded courts to help settle disputes they have and tax-payer supported snow plows on roads. So once again they are also parasites.

Like those companies have not paid for those services in the taxes they have paid.

So FedEx & UPS DON'T pay taxes that fund all this infrastructure that you talk about?
What about thier employees? They pay no taxes as well on roads...

I'm curious if you have the figures detailing the amount of corporate taxes paid by each organization to help fund all of these "subsidies."

Wow. So the USPS doesn't get to use the highways and/or airways. Who knew?

Looks like UPS pays a pretty high amount of taxes each year for those things. LINK

Do you not understand that public money to build roads and bridges must come from the private sector first, (i,e, corporate, individual, gasoline and sales taxes)? The USPS lost $16 billion in 2013 and should have been shuttered long ago. Why are basic economics so cumbersome for the left?

FedEx and UPS planes also pay a fee to every airport they utilize for every plane that takes off and lands there.
For example, this is for Fed Ex at Bob Hope airport.

"The airport charges $1.56 per 1,000 pounds of landed weight on each flight, Gill said. In May, FedEx landed 40 planes, totaling roughly 12.3 million pounds of cargo – which works out to $19,248 in landing fees for the airport."
