I think it is hilarious that people think the post office SHOULD be run at a profit.

Not for a profit, at a profit. Until recently the post office MADE money... It ran at a surplus.
Again, I find it hilarious that people dont think something like the post office could be run more efficiently by private business.
What if the price of postage could drop back to 30 cents per letter? Would you still be against it?

when private business takes anything over prices always go up, never down

One of the biggest reasons that the USPS is in financial trouble is thanks to Congress. The USPS is required to do something that no other entity or corporation has to do: fully fund its retirement account for like 75 years. Nobody does that. Sure they need to have a healthy account (many entities and corps do not) but it's ridiculous to fully fund it that far out. This is a fairly new requirement imposed by Congress.

The usps could stop the bleeding by not giving away all the boxes and rolls of tape and shit.

They don't give it away.
They sell tape, sharpies, boxes, even the envelopes have to be bought. None are ever laying out free.
At least in Colorado, California, and Texas...

Private delivery services cost way more than the post office to get a letter from here to there.

Maybe they could call you each morning to ask if you want them to pick up anything on the way to your house with your mail, if you want a pack of cigarettes or fifth of Whiskey or a bagel they could pick it up and charge you double- I think they could become profitable quickly if they did this
