I hear USPS worked phenomenally well until it became a political target. I think the issue is less that we can’t and more that we won’t support or improve these systems for ideological reasons.
- abigail95 4y agoUSPS is a sanctioned monopoly with a USO. It's illegal to compete with it. It's like saying AT&T "worked". Sure you could buy a phone service and pay $$$$ for it, but if I had a better way of running it, they would put me in jail for trying.
- sudosysgen 4y agoThe monopoly is only over mail and is scarcely enforced nowadays. And yet USPS is still cheaper and better on parcels where it doesn't have a monopoly, so much so that private parcel delivery will often just use USPS.
