No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

You can joke about older parents who live in a house where it’s always 12am, but those folks, too, rely on getting checks in the mail, & depositing them in person at a bank.
Are you ready to buy laptops & data plans for all of them?
...Seriously, it's up there with roads and laws. If some other country did not yet have a postal service, getting one up and running would be one of the main goals of a program to make them into a first-world nation.
Functional nations have post offices.
It’s the only thing we have to legally stop this coup,

As almost all grievances/appeals must be done by mail.
So much shit is going to fall apart if we lose it.

Provides cheap mail to publishers and academics. Small publishers would have to charge four times as much to ship books.
Provides affordable rates on packages, boxes, packing tape, and money orders.
Sells semipostal stamps that include a donation to charity.
Provides affordable PO boxes. I'm required to put an address that can receive mail on my newsletter. Without a PO box...but at least I HAVE a
Allows people to apply for a passport in person, which is easier and less anxiety-inducing for some.
As a note, Amazon saves a ton of money by having the USPS do last mile delivery in many places. Ahem, Bezos?
Personally, I also experienced severe delays of bills and legal docs in the mail, both incoming and outgoing, leading to all kinds of problems.
Ballots are mailed to every registered voter in my state through USPS.

A week or three ago, Bad Dad Incarnate said he wanted DOGE to get the IRS to cut the department where people can file their taxes electronically.
If that went through, what would be left for people to file their taxes? THROUGH THE MAIL.
Trump's actions are to clean up any evidence.
Our mail service is older than the Constitution and needs protecting as strongly as all the rest of our civil liberties

They lost their funding.
Government unions all live with that rule & it’s regrettable but understandable. They’re generally effective at the table anyway.
You don't need chemotherapy, you just need more bleach in your asshole!
Laws are completely dependent on the people tasked with upholding them. Which is why they put so much effort into infiltrating the police force and the judges.
Do you think he's going to give the Post Office to Bezos? I could see Amazon wanting to control all shipping.
Because it's cheaper than doing it themselves. Bezos should be against this.
