For centuries now we have looked at the Post Office as old reliable. Recently it has become predictably unreliable. They lose certified mail, car registrations, medical license registrations, critical documents, and the list goes on. Then they have the gall to claim it was your fault. Your house is 20 feet from the road, your mailbox is a centimeter off in specified height. It was cold, it was raining, the sun was in my eyes.
This is not a political problem. It is an attitude problem. They have a job, they cannot be sued, they cannot be fired and the longer they work the more they get in retirement. Yet work is not what they seem to do.
We are told by politicians that they are perfect, they track our mail, they are efficient and other such great praises. However the fact is they are on the verge of collapse, and their gross negligence and incompetence may bring us all down with them.
No Postmaster General can make any difference. The underlying workforce just does not care and there can be no consequences. Perhaps selling of the Post Office would be a good idea. Think Amazon?
