And there it is. There is literally no other organization that does what USPS does, vapid memes notwithstanding. We have the choice of either accepting that they operate at a loss, or pay a lot more for the commerce we do. There isn’t a third option.

Privatizing USPS would mean either poorer-quality service, or much more expensive service, or both, because what they do cannot be profitably done for as little as they charge.

It would mean that the nation’s rural population that predominantly votes Republican would learn that they’ve been taking their cheap socialistic mail services for granted. Don’t they also complain when stamp prices increase by a few cents?
