Don’t worry, the USPS will still be tasked with the unprofitable, thankless job of delivering letters and flats, the raiders will carve out the quite profitable small package business, “raise the market floor” on the pricing and then lots of little mom and pop garage businesses are gonna get fucked.

I’m tuned into what they are doing because my wife has one of those garage businesses. 10 years ago her standard package cost $3.15 most places in the US, now it’s $5.40 and honestly, I’m not mad. When these chucklefucks “raise the market floor” it’s going to be on par with UPS and FedEX, which costs $15+

I repeat the phrase “raise the market floor” because that’s a quote from the leaked Wells Fargo proposal to privatize the USPS. They literally think we pay too little to ship small packages. It’s a small piece of shit floating by on this swollen river of sewage, but it’s one that’s going to affect me drastically so I’m paying attention to it.
