You couldn't have written a better synopsis of the USPS woes. Carvin' Marvin did what he could do in the '90s, but that unbelievably stupid pre-funded health care mandate was/is the USPS kryptonite. In 2004, I was rescued from the USPS by the DoD and am now retired. The LLV I drove was manufactured in 1989. I suspect it may still be in use today, 31 years later. In most states, that vehicle is considered an antique. Think about that, friends! Thanks again for the wonderfully written post.
