Postal Service in Crisis

The U.S. Postal Service, born in 1775, is drowning in debt—$117 billion since 2007—with Postmaster General David Steiner blaming government rules for its financial collapse.

Steiner confirms he’ll comply, making the mail system’s role in democracy more complex than ever. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
