Congress doesn’t have the time to do anything. They are to busy playing ringmaster to the clown show in Washington D C
Of course parcel post is down, they almost double rates in June, zone rating for 1st class, and 2 lb priority mail increase of 30% in January(package from MO to West coast went from $9.85 to $13).
You know, I bet you could hired a dozen citizens off the street and they could get far more done in a single day than Congress has in decades. The logistics of shipping isn’t rocket science and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the government requiring them to pre-fund pensions well in advance only hinders the USPS’s progress and ability to perform.
And they did that to break the mail carrier union or, barring that, give away the post office to special friends at UPS/FedEx. Never underestimate the duplicity of pretend “leadership.”
