Hate that the debate is “is the postal service worth the money it costs?” and not “should we lift the insane restrictions on the postal service that no private company has so that they can actually break even on their own?

Yea, we should keep the USPS, but also undo the legislative ball-and-chain put on them that was passed during the Bush administration. No private company has to set aside pension money 75 years in advance, neither should the USPS for example.
