Lmfao, even USPS is fucking us hard now? Our assholes are stretching too much nowadays.
It was a mistake, they had tracking code on their own website they didn't understand.
Not that it justifies it tbh, the whole "let's collect analytics" is cancerous
These mistakes always happen at our expense. Did not facebook get our incomes in similar way from turbotax.
At some point, people start to notice...
We are always the fucking punching bag.
Our tax money is used to fuck us, exhibit no. 3259867
so no tax money goes to post office, is it funded from stamps and delivery fees?

Overview The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) generates nearly all of its funding—about $78.5 billion annually according to the USPS’s most recent financial report—by charging users of the mail for the costs of the services it provides. Congress, however, does provide an annual appropriation—about $50 million in FY2023—to compensate the USPS for revenue it forgoes in providing free mailing privileges to the blind and overseas voters.
