Default Re: Massive US International shipping rate increase

Well USPS has been drastically changing. Two of my uncle works there and just a couple years ago, they starting putting GPS receivers on their mail carriers to track them. If they stay on a certain area for a long time they get written up and it puts them under pressure on there job. They said it used to be a fun job where they had enough break time to go chill.

The problem is that USPS is losing money like nobodies business

Last year they reported a loss of 16 Billion dollars

Most recently they've announced that they will no longer deliver First Class mail on saturdays

Honestly I worry about the postal service. I think its run poorly personally but who am I to judge?

Unfortunately, I don't think the USPS can survive in the long-term unless the government intervenes.
