Preserve the People’s Post Office: Let Us Do Meaningful Postal Reform

I have followed the recent arguments and concerns about the US Postal Service, but I did not consider any historical context of other attempts over time to privatize the public service of the Post Office.

It has been claimed that the Postal Service has losses of billions of dollars but that is largely because the powerful interests who design the methods by which we count and measure worth hate the concept of public benefit.

Instead let us acknowledge the value inherent in a public infrastructure that binds the nation together bringing every home and business into a network that furthers economic and social profit while promoting national security.

Let us acknowledge the public benefits of universal service.
