The House of Representatives continues to think the way to resolve Postal Service woes is with the money faucet, while hamstringing USPS with additional constraints. Their approach seems to be to double-down with more government oversight, repeating the failed approach of the past 50 years.

Supply chains have equilibriums to balance supply and demand, too.
