Imagine the US trying to restart the postal service. I guy would have to find a uniform in an abandoned truck, meet Ford Lincoln Mercury who can convince some kids to help him deliver the mail around the country as a barter service, maybe meet a famous singer operating a dam. Almost sounds like a good movie.
