This should be a reminder that mail, while on the decline for two decades, still is an important component of our day to day lives, and that we still heavily rely on its on-time delivery and reliability. I do not want to get political, but it seems impossible to me that mail would be entirely handled by the private sector. Mail, like many utilities such as public transport or water treatment, is rarely profitable with a low-enough cost to make it affordable for everyone. It really breaks my heart to know that people may not have had enough food on their table because their paycheck or allowance was delayed in the mail.
