The United States Postal Service is failing fast. For the last fiscal year, which ended September 30th, the Postal Service lost $16 billion. If drastic steps are not taken, it could run out of cash within a year. If that were to occur, postal delivery would abruptly stop. Several Fortune 500 companies that rely on the US Postal Service are lobbying for a fix from Washington DC. A spokesperson said (quote) “If Congress fails to act, there could be postal slowdowns or shutdowns that would have catastrophic consequences.”
