But almost all USPS functions could be performed by FedEx, UPS, and others.
Interesting that FedX and “others” have private contractors so as to not pay benefits. Corporations lower their costs to show more profits, pay CEO’S and executives millions and keep the workers on minimum salaries. Isn’t it a great country or what?
