    They don’t need to privatize the USPS, they just need to lobby for the government’s monopoly on post, established by act of Congress in the 1800s, to be removed. Then they can create a competing postal system, like Lysander Spooner did with the American Letter Mail Company. If they really think they can make a profitable service that competes with the USPS, let them try.

      They don’t want to compete. That’s not the point of any of this. They want to strip it for parts because Trump has rang the dinner bell for the vultures to feast on everything we have built in this country.

      Yeah and you think that the current federal government would allow the USPS to compete fairly with the private corporation that their buddy owns?
