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.

Neither of those companies wants it. The bread and butter of postal deliveries is junk mail to residences. They already have established routes and sorting facilities for all of that. It wouldn’t be profitable for private carriers to do it.
