Making Sense of German Stamp Collecting

How the Post Office Made America
"No small share of the credit goes to the Post Office, and the Post Office was never intended to be for-profit, but remember, that's because the Post Office is funded by a well-funded federal government, and the federal government is well funded because they abolished the Articles of Confederation and established the Constitution, instead. The Articles of Confederation did not give the federal government the authority to levy taxes, and so, under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government was frequently underfunded. The Constitution has never had this problem. Whatever credit goes to the Post Office, it was made possible by the Constitution."

How The U.S. Postal Service Fell Into A Financial Black Hole
"If the United States Postal Service was a private business, it would have ranked 44th on the 2019 Forbes 500 list. It also hires more than 600,000 employees, third to Amazon and Walmart. But it’s a public service. That means its goal isn’t to meet its bottom line, but to fulfill its duty to provide affordable and reliable mail service in the U.S. So how did USPS’s finances come into the spotlight and why is it in the red?"
