Everything is done electronically now. People can pay their bills online/over the phone and not have to worry about the continual rise of postage stamps.

The post office will probably become obsolete, eventually.

I might be wrong but isn't the post office actually a private entity? Wish Mattfeast was still around to fill us in.

I think you may be thinking of the IRS or the Federal Reserve. The PO is all public as far as I know.

Matt is still around, but he gets really tired of the soap opera that is happening on the Realm so he is visiting other board. I will call him or email him the question that was asked.

You are correct. They are not OWNED by the federal government, but they contract with the federal government and are subsidized by it.

I didn't know that. And the feds went after Microsoft for being a monopoly? Sheesh...

They aren't a total monopoly, though. Several years ago, the Postal Service began working with both UPS and FedEx to move freight. Many packages are sent via those two services and dropped at your local post office for delivery if they are small enough to fit in your box.

Apparently, he's not checked us out in quite a while. 90% of the bickering left when we got rid of a couple of detractors. It's rather quiet nowadays.

As long as it is illegal to deliver first class mail by any other means, they are a monopoly in my book.
