I am not sure about not losing money.

Please see https://about.usps.com/news/national-releases/2017/pr17_007....

Summary:

- operation cost reduced

- holiday sales saw growth

- first-class mail saw continued loss

It is known USPS has been losing money for many years now due to the raise of emails and now social media and instant messaging.

This is a strong reason some people proposed to privatize USPS instead.
