Post Office On The Brink Of Bankruptcy

By Mark Lorenz on September 6th, 2011

Nope. That is not acceptable. It’s just not right. After being assailed by all different elements for hundreds of years, and the slings and arrows of homicidal native Americans (according to film)?

You can’t be the organization that Kevin Costner based his epic film ‘The Postman’ on and suffer the exact same fate as the movie – slow, winding death. Crashing. But that seems to be what’s in the cards for the United States Postal Service. We can bail out the bankers, we can drive the middle class into the dirt, and now there’s an actual possibility there will be no Post Offices. What utter horseshit. Can you imagine a world where employees never go crazy? How would the mail even get to your house? Would everything have to be delivered through the air or intravenously?

A whopping 9.2 billion dollar deficit is looming over the heads of the American institution, and you know how much we love bailing out organizations to the tune of billions. They owe 5.5 billion dollars to fund future retirees’ health benefits, but by next year, they won’t have the money to pay their over half a million employees.

Good job, America. We’re living in Rome, and everything will crashing down shortly. We don’t have money for the MAIL?

Pathetic.
