I think it was here on FR where I read an interesting comment from a poster who claimed to have some kind of inconspicuous position as a U.S. intelligence analyst in the past.

This guy claimed that when monitoring the diplomatic, political and economic situations in other nations, the decline of a country's postal system was always seen as the first sign that the country was going to collapse.

It’s a sign that a country’s infrastructure is falling apart that’s for sure. Politicians would rather spend our money on bombing people and then sending those people billions of dollars over fixing anything in America.
