are going all out to destroy the USPS

They want it to be obliterated, so that private corporations can take it over........

People don't realize, especially all the Trumphumping Republican voters in Rural America, that they will be the worst hit........

A letter costing 15 bucks, and only delivered once a week to a "post office" where you will have to pick it up? AND packages UPS, FedEx etc will dramatically increase in price, as these companies will then all have to do the last mile delivery themselves to a "post office" location that you will have to drive to when a package comes to you, again once a week......

Also, worst of all, this will end the existence of the largest? union in America...............wipe it out overnight........
A win-win for the Republican Tyranny.......
