Such as?

Most of these faded out comments are talking about how the USPS is a government org so it has no incentives to efficiently fix things regardless of money. How do you debunk that? It’s true of the incentives of every government agency.

Why does the CEO of a private company have incentive to fix things? Presumably because they’ll be fired if they don’t. How is that any different for the head of a governmental organisation?
Stock compensation.
I mean sure, but do you really feel like that’s necessary for someone to be motivated to do a good job. IMO there’s plenty of incentive without that.
Well you’re completely wrong. The vast majority of a CEO’s compensation is tied to the success of the company (often >90% comes in stock).

It’s the difference between life changing money (early retirement, vacation anywhere any time, etc).
