They can definitely cut down. A lot of mail is just trash.
The post office drives all the way out to my house to put one piece of paper in my box that goes right in the trash.

100%
It needs to be 100% privatized
It’s the most inefficient of all the government services. Certainly New Orleans. And that’s saying a lot.

Never happen. The postal service exists today to cheat during elections.

someone here posted that the huge expense of the post office comes not from the operation itself, but from pensions
So the people who worked all those years to earn that pension shouldn’t get it?
Most public sector jobs come with the tradeoff of a lower initial salary for better benefits, including retirement.

Not the same job.
A private entity would stop servicing the unprofitable routes, or dramatically increase the prices.
I'm not saying that would be wrong, but it would be the reality, and a lot of people would get upset about it.
The best idea is to stop daily deliveries. A couple of times a week is enough for most postal customers.
