I'd imagine the biggest problem the post office has isn't that it has too many offices - or that it has too many days of delivery -
the biggest problem is most likely the high pay and generous retirement pay.
goverment and pseudo government entities turn into "jobs programs" over time. Their purpose isn't to make a profit, the purpose is to give as much to the workers as they can.
That's all fine and good, especially if you work there, but the reality is - it can only work for as long as people in the private sector don't complain.
When the economy is booming - nobody notices it, and that's when all the benefits and pay ratchets up even higher.
Then the economy tanks, and people start looking at what their billions and billions of tax dollars are being spent on and an entity like the PO looks pretty foolish.
Then they start scrambling, trying to think of ways to make it less foolish. They start with trying to reduce services, and the size of the operation.
You think any one of us couldn't go out - open a private post office and staff it for half, if not one fourth of what the US Post office pays???
it would be easy.
But - they've essentially built themselves a union that they can't turn on. They have to force the rest of us to pay more - or reduce the services they provide to make their finances less offensive to the average american.
