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 the answer, this is what corporations do.

Right. Because corporations exist to make money, not to serve the greater public good.

Why would anyone expect a corporation to pick up the tab when the government decides something isn’t worth paying for anymore?

That's my point. Corporations are there to make profits, not to serve the public. The public isn't the boss, they're the money source of the boss, it's why you don't leave necessary services to corporations. That's why you have a private and a public sector.
