This is why you’re losing ten million dollars per day
The web site ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com chronicles over-the-top foods that offer obvious explanations for America’s obesity problem. Perhaps it’s time to start a rival web site devoted to pictures showing why the US Postal Service lost over $3.8 billion last year, leading it to close hundreds of branches and consider suspending Saturday delivery.
This photo, taken this afternoon at the US Post Office on Washington Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia, suggests a reason why the USPS might not be in the finest fettle:
Note:
- A line six deep.
- Nobody at the counter. (The gentleman in the black polo hiding behind a pillar appears to have been a contractor or some other non-USPS employee.)
- The backwards sign at the top of the third window from the left.
- The overstuffed waste bins.
- The lack of tape, pens, and other mailing supplies.
- The lack of air conditioning (not pictured due to technical limitations of photography).
I won’t cry for the postal service, which admits that it’s only kept alive financially by Congressional subsidy and the millions of pounds of junk mail it thrusts through unwilling victims’ customers’ letterboxes every year. As Radley Balko wrote in 2008,
Americans should be bothered with useless, unsolicited junk mail so that the USPS can continue to pay otherwise unneeded postal workers to deliver it. Makes sense to me. I thus propose a federal “Agency for Digging Holes in Americans’ Front Yards.” Then, because of the holes-in-people’s-front-yards problem that will inevitably result, I propose a second “Agency for Filling In Yard Holes.”
Unfortunately, this went from satire to conventional wisdom in a matter of months. So there’s probably little hope for the US Post Office going out of business anytime soon.
