Edit: At least it's not as bad as DHL, they just drop that shit wherever the hell they want after running it over

UPS it shows up late but in great shape

FedEx it's on time but damn I wish they took the extra time to be more careful

Edit 2: Image transcription

Depicted is a comparison of 2 lines, 1 straight and the other spiraled and curled much like a bowl of spaghetti. Each line connects it's own pair of X's. The straight line has the words, "USPS delivering my bills," above it. Whereas the tangled mass of line has the words, "USPS delivering my packages," above it.

Based nationalized essential service.

The main reason it hasn't been totally privatized already is that the country would fall apart without it. The USPS can deliver to unprofitable locations that the private sector would never cover. Even then, it still makes a profit naturally. Even though some ideologue Republicans want it totally privatized, enough of the GOP recognizes that they rely on the rural voters who vote by mail from unprofitable locations. If they get rid of Democracy, it might become privatized by dumbass fascists, but even then, the economy and federal government would unraveled as a result.
