What's funny is that the post office delivers packages for every major shipping service. No shipping services delivers parcels for the USPS.
Anything the major players don't find profitable, and all overflow that they cannot fit in their trucks is given to the post office daily.
Anything the major players don't find profitable
This is to my point. If it isn't profitable to do and they do it anyways, then it is being subsided by someone.
Not really an option in small towns.
Everything is an option if the price makes it profitable. Better than everyone's taxes subsidizing rural routes. Maybe that's harsh for people who would have to pay more in those areas, but why should I pay for it?

The fallacy that the post office is subsidized by taxes is something that is pressed by mainstream news sources. The post office runs off of postage only. Is the post office currently in debt? Yes. They have to borrow money. The post office used to make money and Congress would steal the money from the post office because the post office is not allowed to make profit. The post office is a service. Just like the army. It's not designed to make money.
One of the things that is handicapped the post office was a law that was passed that required the post office to fund retirement and pensions for carriers 75 years into the future. No other business has these stipulations in place. iirc this law may have been altered in recent years. But due to the law having existed in the first place, it has still put a financial strain on the post office. Sad but true, most of major problems everyone hates about the post office these days is strictly because of dei policies. I have a lot of family that works in the post office. All of them hate working with niggers and other shit skins. They simply have horrible work ethic. Spend more time arguing about why they can't work then actually working. And rarely show up for work.
Why should rural folks have less mail coverage?
This in fewer words than what I wrote.
