Just think. In Article 1 of the US Constitution, the same article that creates Congress, also creates a federal post office system. Remote communication was so important that’s where it was described using the latest technology of the time.

There are so many systems today that need similar treatment. Internet. Medical. Education. Job Training.

And no, I don’t mean fed government enforced monopoly. I mean, UPS exists and competes with the USPS. But there is a minimum level of service in operation.

We've spent the last 40 years trying to privatize the function of the Post Office and dismantle it as a federal agency.
