The U.S. Post Office: Living Up to ‘Snail Mail’ More Than Ever. Receivin’ a letter in Grants Pass from Green Bay, Wisconsin, postmarked December 20—on January 7, a transit time of 18 days is ridiculous. Hell, the Pony Express coulda got it there faster. ‘The consolidation of mail processing centers has also played a role. In a bid to cut costs, the USPS has closed many smaller facilities, funneling mail through centralized hubs. While cost-effective on paper, this move has created logistical bottlenecks.’ Like tryin’ to shove a golf ball through a garden hose. The American taxpayer gave the USPS $79.5 billion to run on last year, and still, they lost $1.8 billion. The previous year, they lost $2.2 billion. The people in charge are about as organized as a haystack in a hurricane. With continuin’ numbers like that, if they were traded on the NYSE, their stock’d be worthless.
