To say nothing of the fact that other delivery services frequently rely upon USPS for last-mile delivery in more rural (read: less- or un-profitable) areas, and those areas would simply not be served by a privatized postal service.
- _emacsomancer_ 6y agoYes, without the USPS lots of people would have to drive into the nearest town to get anything, and presumably letters would become completely cost-prohibitive to send even to people in cities. But even setting these things aside, USPS is almost always a better experience as either sender or receiver than any of the other competitors in the US.
