The idea to fully privatize the United States Postal Service has been in the news lately as the current administration has expressed an interest. I believe that it is extremely unlikely that the government will or should fully privatize, or transfer from government control and ownership to private enterprise, USPS anytime soon.
It’s good that more people are focusing on the impossible financial position our mail service is in. However, spending time and resources on fighting the risk of complete privatization draws attention away from realistic solutions.
