What i've never understood is why they even bother advertising? They try to compete with fedex an ups... and they just can't. People use them for other things though and it's stuff I don't really think they need to advertise. I've seen tons of USPS commercials... looks like they are spending $150 million a year on commercials :(
I really wonder how could it be that cheap...
Wait ‘till folks hear how expensive roads are.
(usps is a public good that can be run at a loss, it does not need to be profitable; as you mention, this is super cheap postage for the value)
