I'd be very fine with it being tax funded instead of being funded by stamps and parcel metering. We might have much less shit mail as a result. It was an actual part of this government, not a corporation like now, before 1970, when the Reorg Act went into effect. Look before 1970 then USPS workers were not allowed to collectively bargain but that still could have been achieved with the a different outcome in 1970.
I would be very fine with tax funding because as a service the work they do facilitates other sectors' viabilities. There might also be more accountability to help the workers.
