I think this misses the point. Whether it is a service or not, it needs to be run well so we don’t end up wasting our tax dollars. It seems to be losing far more money than ever before and there should be consequences for that. There are basic reforms that should have been implemented that are now costing us.
Again with the “losing money” narrative. It doesn’t lose money, it costs money.
Now. Does it cost so much more than ever before? I don’t know. And if it does, why is that? Good questions.
But if it doesn’t cost proportionally so much more but we all stopped buying stamps or using the paid services it provides to subsidize its operational costs then that would explain the deficit. Otherwise we’d need to ask more pointed questions, I’m with you on that
But you can’t slap “basic reforms” on something when you don’t see or understand the larger underlying picture past the sensationalist headline and that’s unfortunately the point where most people stop asking questions
