    It’s a “self funded government business enterprise” which IMO means it’s not private and it’s still appropriate to say that it’s turned a loss, given that the expectation is for it to be self-funded.

    Post is an essential service but it’s becoming less essential as time goes by. Perhaps it’s essential that I have the capacity to receive letters, but I don’t remember the last time I received a letter of any import.

    Presently it’s only a $200m loss or cost but the article discusses the forecast increases. I think it’s natural and healthy to have a conversation about what service delivery can be altered to preserve benefits for the most people while reducing costs.
