A few days ago I received an email from Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley about downgrades in USPS service under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s Delivering for America initiative, a ten-year plan to address operating costs and Postal Service debt by making mail delivery more efficient and cost-effective.
USPS has problems for sure. Some are caused by Congressional mandates. My mailbox always has plenty of junk mail sent at ridiculously low rates. Maybe the revenue shortfall could be addressed with a hefty junk mail rate increase. If that caused a loss of volume, I wouldn’t miss it!
usps has been a target for sometime now. so, right on!!
Thanks, Roland.

BTW maybe revocation of the Franking privilege should be looked at too.
Thanks for the comments and good suggestions. I confess I had to look up "Franking privilege" to remind myself what that is.
