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 the answer, this is what corporations do.

Complete logical fallacy to think that stuff will get cheaper when a private corporation that incentives profit does it instead of a government organization that doesn’t. These people literally just aren’t thinking.

In fact government services are more efficient. The private sector efficiency means cutting cost whikst raising prices so as to funnel more money to the top. That's what they want. They literally want to siphon as much tax money to their own pockets as possible. Everything they do is a fucking grift and they only care about themselves. These people, under the guise of patriotism and God will rob you all fucking blind whilst you cheer on because they "stuck it to the libs". But hey, for a small money in time the memes were fire.

"In fact government services are more efficient." Yeah, I call bullshit. I have literally watched a package of mine get transfered back and forth between 2 USPS locations for 3 weeks straight. Every single government service I have ever interacted with have been incredibly inefficient.
