So with the USPS running another loss this quarter, we are paying the
Chinese to ship their **** here??

What do you care? Almost everything you buy likely is made in the
communist people's republic of china.

The USPS is the last mile. I have made several purchases and had them
shipped via USPS. What actually happens is that a common carrier
receives the package at the shippers location and delivers it to my
local post office for the last mile to my house.

The interesting thing is that the USPS wants out of the government
retirement and health care plans and they want to dump 120,000
employees.

They want out because they're trying to lower costs in the current
toxic climate, not because they want to throw out 120K people.
