The US Postmaster General continues to make moves that spark concerns for USPS union leaders, as workers receive a mass email touting the benefits of the US Postal Service going private.
In any case, the burden of privatization will fall, of course, on the employees and the unions, but ultimately on the customers as well. Tell me when privatizing any governmental entity resulted in lower costs to operate, lower costs to users, better deals for employees. Private postal service will ultimately fail, of course, because no non-governmental organization can finance the capital to make it work.
I don't agree with your legal assessment. The Constitution allows for the creation of a post office but does not specify how the mail is to be delivered. The issue has yet to be determined in the courts.
The president cannot privatize USPS. https://www.kgw.com/article/news/verify/donald-trump/president-cant-privatize-us-postal-service-fact-check/536-042308fd-6b70-4287-aa99-e175b4b96ce4

We're are going to get screwed. What else is new?

Thanks! That's also regrettable, I guess. He already gets to do whatever he wants, so I was counting on this being out of his reach.
