You mean when we applied right wing ideology to the USPS it didn't

What is right wing about all the restrictions placed on the post
office. The biggest single problem they are having now is
Congressionally imposed expenditures for retiree health care, playing
with work rules and Congress' meddling in not allowing them to close
unprofitable branches in their districts and states.
The right wing part is when they changed from a government agency to an
"independent" agency.
Being more like an American Corporation was going to cure the inefficiency.
The USPS is a frankenstein's monster that isn't purely
governmental, yet not remotely free trade.
Agreed.
But not with the Frankenstein monster part.
They don't cost taxpayers anything.
They hand deliver mail to your doorstep for less than .50 a letter.
