For those who think keeping open two USPS Branches costs...
too much and we a can't afford it, you haven't seen anything yet, just wait and see how much mail service will cost this nation if they ever privatize the mail system
The USPS is similar to the situation with medicare. Medicare is very expensive and is costing this nation (collectively) a great deal of money and we need to figure out ways to save money and raise revenue
That being said, to privatize the services provided by medicare will end up costing the nation and its citizens (individually) astronomically more money than the current system administered by the govt., resulting in more people being unable to afford health care
Those crying for privatization intentionally hide this truth, because they stand to profit from the public.
