If a USPS closes, does anyone notice?

I wouldn’t notice. We check our mail maybe once a week, and toss 90% of it immediately.

I shop small biz.

The vast majority use USPS to save money on shipping.

I prefer FedEx or UPS, so I’m using more businesses that offer either of those two.

Small biz using USPS exclusively might want to reconsider, especially if they’ve got customers willing to pay for UPS or FedEx.

All I ever get is junk mail. Packages come by UPS or FedEx. Bills are auto-payed on my computer or phone. No one sends Christmas cards anymore, but if they do, it's electronic and birthday gifts are done on Venmo.

The reality is that we finally figured out how to make the USPS obsolete.

Actually, yes. Mailing to a local address will go out to a central location and come back. That's what happened here. They didn't close our post office, just added a layer of complexity.

No, and that's why they'd be closed.
