And that is evaluated on a per market basis. The assertion that losing money on some services causes them to raise prices elsewhere is baseless.

Even if there was a mechanism the numbers don't work - there's orders of magnitude more packages sent within the US than into the US from UPU.

I was commenting on your remark about USPS lacking pricing power. I wasn't really disagreeing with you, just pointing out some of the moat between them and pricing power.
