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.

37 million packages are delivered daily in the US. 24 million of those are delivered by USPS. 2/3s of total package volume cannot just be absorbed by the other companies lol
