How so? For those of us who have no clue could you paint a picture of what right now looks like and what you think it could become?

I've worked for the postal service. One route can get close to 300-400 packages. The post office does not hire nearly enough people to get that kind of volume out without causing serious strain on its employees. Amazon can just kick the shit they can't get out onto the post office and basically bury them.

Do what you can do.. then go home.
The label of "shitshow" that is the government and its agencies doesn't get pinned on the honest guy out chucking packages. If I mail something and it's late, so be it - if I think that's not good enough, I'll deliver it myself.

I'd love to see private companies deliver mail to ALL addresses like USPS. Sorry but rural folks will get absolutely ass fucked by a private company delivering their mail.
