I'm hearing there is an opportunity in becoming a game mule smuggling stuff across the Canadian border. Perhaps by boat. I could use this kind of justification to get a boat. Sadly for Canadians it also might be profitable for me.
You could call your enterprise The New Purple Gang.
The "original" Purple Gang was a group of Detroit area mobsters that ran booze down from Canada during prohibition.
I think some of it is the US postal service hasn't been profitable and has enemies in Congress. Where can you raise rates to that constituents won't complain about? Canada. The 51st state doesn't get any votes in Congress and there more polite about it than Puerto Rico.
The USPS isn't profitable because of its enemies in congress. They have to work with the worst practices of government and private enterprise.
