Debate: Should the Postal Service be opened to the privatization?
Side: YES, Stop the Monopoly

I am glad that you are good at basic math. Congrats!Despite the definition of the USPS, it still is a self generating revenue stream, and operational costs are pretty universal regardless whether a private corporation or government corporation.Operational costs are suchTC=TFC+TVC------ Total Cost=Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable CostsSo, in order to understand the average cost per person that is the Average Total Cost, which is ATC=TC/QI understand your argument of profit making concerning operational costs, yet there could be rules and regulations restricting price increases of the private companies by price ceilings in order to deter from unfair price increases. This practice is already demonstrated in other industries. Rent Control, Gas and Food.Considering whether the USPS is a business, the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction in making law; in fact, they never have. They only interpret law as it was written by Congress or federal regulators when brought to suit. They set precedent for future cases. In the USPS v. Flamingo Industries appeals case, the question was whether the Postal Service can be sued under federal antitrust laws and not whether it is a business. Therefore, although I recognize the court as the highest court in the land, the Ninth Circuit Appeals reversed the antitrust immunity count where it ruled that 1970 Postal Reorganization Act waived the Postal Service's sovereign immunity and that it could be sued under federal antitrust laws as a "person."As noted, the Supreme Court overturned this ruling. Furthermore, the Sherman Act defines a person to include private corporations while Congress defined the Postal Service as a federal corporation or independent establishment so can’t be defined as a private corporation only because of Congress.Therefore, unless Congress gives a congressional statement, which they never will, the USPS can’t be sued under the antitrust laws in accordance under the current definition of what a person is. Thus, under this current definition, the Postal Service has different goals from a private corporation since Congress defined the USPS as not a person, and thus doesn’t pursue profits as would a private corporate, but still must pursue revenue in order to operate. So, by default, then yes, it is not Private Corporation but a still a government corporation. Since the USPS is not applicable to antitrust laws, it has limited powers as those private businesses such has unilaterally setting prices or closing post offices, which often creates inefficiencies. So, if anything, this appeals case only solidifies the public monopoly of the USPS by not only Congress declaring neither the USPS nor the government as a person, but the Supreme Court concurring with Congress’ definition of what a person is. So, since the USPS is not a person, then yes, it is not a private corporation seeking only profits, yet only because Congress established it as such, but a government corporation nonetheless due to what the Court declared as public responsibilities.The USPS is not corporation in the private sense, but as noted before, it is a corporation owned by the federal government.
