The essential service here is mail delivery, not mail delivery "under a dollar."
- tsally 17y agoNo, the essential service is mail delivery under a dollar to anywhere in the United States. That is a fundamentally different service than what is provided by Fedex or UPS.
- hnal943 17y agoSimply because it's different doesn't mean it's essential. Is there an inalienable right to mail delivery whose rate structure ignores distance? Why doesn't the same right protect people from paying a premium for mailing heavy objects?
- SapphireSun 17y agoThink of how revolutionary the internet is. The post office is the old version of the internet.
- smallblacksun 17y agoThe essential service is universal mail delivery for a uniform (not cheaper to mail something to Chicago than Bumblefuck, WY), reasonable cost. Could/would private companies do that? Reply hazy, try again
