They can also mandate each city in the nation have at least one post office regardless of how it affects mail stream efficiency. They can also neglect to allocate any funding to carry out these initiatives, but can claim credit for solving all problems for everyone at once time. Stamps may rise to $25 to cover the costs of these ideas, but Congress can always pass another law reducing stamp prices to whatever level they deem appropriate. It’s not like the laws of the marketplace apply to the USPS in the real world. It is a vote generating machine for unionized workers which happens to try to dole out mail each day.
