"Reliable mail service to every address in the country is one of the foundational building blocks of a developed nation. Those that argue against it to me seem irrational." Those who would argue, blindly, that this service must be provided by the government ... seem irrational. Moreover, we are in a digital era, trying to reduce our paper usage. I have not received a paper letter of material usefulness literally in years. 95% of my mail is junk mail - wasted. The remaining 5% is the occasional letter from the government, of the bank, reminding me of what I have already received online. By any reasonable stretch, the USPS is largely just a 'junk mail service'. Society may benefit frankly from the end of this waste and the end of paper mail for most procedures. What remains for the most part is just packages and a few letters there's no reason decent regulation couldn't have it managed by private entities.
