When a Monday holiday occurs, with no Saturday delivery, and no service standards, when are the meds going to get delivered?

BTW, before someone pipes up with med pouches are packages, not mail, that is incorrect. They are labeled and handled as first class mail, not packages. That was done to ensure prompt delivery.

All this aside, the sole reason for the fiscal crisis in the USPS is not loss of revenue, it's mismanagement from both Congress and USPS management.

Answer one question:

Is there any other entity, public or private, which is required to pre-fund retirement benefits for employees who aren't even born yet?

Minus that requirement, the USPS has actually turned a profit in most years since the legislation was enacted.
