It took me 3 minutes to find the information below: You guys should do some research if you're going to blab about "our tax dollars at work"
NO tax dollars support the Postal Service. The Postal Service is a government entity, but is run more like a private company. A reason for leaving the post office as a government agency is the sanctity of the mail. It is against the law to open first class mail unless you are the addressee or have the permission of the addressee. That means that if I open your card from Grandma and take the $20 bill she sent I face federal charges. Even law enforcement officers have to have a court order to open your mail. Not true with UPS or Fed Ex.
Also is there some point where Lance Armstrong was riding a Kilo TT in the TDF? Otherwise I have trouble understanding the reason of this thread in SSFG lol
