Some folks were puzzled as to why city and state services were open but the U.S. Postal Service closed on Tuesday, Jan. 2, in honor of former President Gerald Ford, who died Dec. 26.
The Post Office is a corporation, to be sure, but it’s a government-owned one and considered a quasi-independent federal agency, according to Wikipedia. So when federal agencies are directed to close, that goes for the Post Office, too.
Wikipedia also boasts this trivia tidbit: The Post Office is the third largest employer in the United States behind the Department of Defense and Wal-Mart.
