I also think they are important for national security. If you ever needed to roll out a vaccine quickly - the USPS would be the first bit of infrastructure you would leverage.

Was that the case in this pandemic? And how is it different from pressing private companies into service via the Defense Production Act?

  > Was that the case in this pandemic? Not really. Vaccines were deployed via centralized health centers. > pressing private companies into service I am talking about a distribution network. Lets go back to that time in March 2020 when the US started realizing COVID was a real thing and everyone went into lockdown. Imagine the next time, where we are able to mass manufacture a vaccine pill within the matter 1-2 weeks. Having the USPS distribution system could be invaluable here. We certainly wouldn't be in our third year of COVID-related disruptions as we are now.
