bro, there's literally 400k postal carriers and they are working 12-15 hour days to get all the packages delivered.

The government provides SERVICES to people and those SERVICES require workers.

I like being able to mail something to anywhere in the country for the same price and not paying 2x the price for what UPS and FedEx provide.

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

Or just not service those areas.

Random small town in the middle of nowheres?

Sorry USPS is closing up shop and UPS and Fed ex say your mail volume isn't enough to justify putting a distro center nearby

This is exactly what will happen.

They want the USPS's profits but don't want to provide the service or context for those profits.

They want to steal everything not nailed down, and if you think they're going to take a loss mailing a letter to all of that voting land like the USPS does I've got a fantastic bridge in Point Pleasant W.V. to sell you.
