Don't privatize, but rather abolish the USPS.

If a private company believes they can deliver a letter from Miami to Nome, Alaska for $.44 they will take on the task.

Everyone else understands that the entirety of USPS’ work can be done. Y the Internet or FedEx.

FedEx doesn’t understand that.

I think going totally internet would be chaotic for business. Efficient yes, but the way folks change email addresses and without a good way to verify who you are sending something to, it would be a mess.

I seriously doubt FedEx or any other company has the capacity to deliver 150 billion pieces of mail annually.

As for the internet. Good luck. I would be willing to bet over 50% of the population doesn’t user any sort of e-billing service whatsoever.
