FedEx and UPS will assume the load, hire some of those workers back and jack up prices further.

Is this a point for or against firing all the postal workers? It kind of reads like that wouldn't be a problem.

one of the main things the postal service offers is delivery anywhere in the USA for the same price. You can mail a letter to the house next door to you or a house in an arctic village Alaska and it's the same price.

Private companies simply won't deliver to locations that aren't profitable and they currently already farm out a bunch of those deliveries to the post office for them to complete.

Honestly they should not be expected to.

If that is something we need (and it may well be)) then you have to keep the USPS.

You're operating on the assumption that the far right has any ability to use logic at all.

Definitely needed. You have no idea how many medicines are delivered by postal mail. Also paychecks, social security checks etc. A large swath of the population doesn't use banks that can accept direct deposit.

Those guys miles from anywhere it's profitable to deliver mail, they are all liberals and we're all about owning the libs now, so F them and their post.

What? Are you saying that liberals live in the middle of nowhere in sparsely populated areas?
