Could the Postal Service exist without their mandated monopoly over mail?
"Experienced" also implies entrenched, complacent, and careerist inspired motivations. How does one eliminate a bureaucracy once it is created?
Unless one owns stock in a company why would one care what the CEO earns? The citizen has an interest in minimizing the cost of government because it has a direct monetary cost and it restricts liberty.

The postal service is also burdened with a hell of large payment it has to make to Washington. Priority Mail is as good as FedEx at less than half the price. Not only that with USPS I am notified when the mail is in, FedEx drops it on the front porch or by the garage door and runs.
And there are no entrenced people in private corporations, boy you must have worked at different companies than I have seen here.
No stock in the company but as my wife says (loudly) when she is picking up her prescriptions "Whose golden parachute am I paying for this time?"
Gotta run New Tricks is coming on.
