Trump has called the US postal service ‘a joke’. But don’t expect Amazon to replace it | Niamh Rowe

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is currently facing financial difficulties and criticism from former President Trump, who has labeled it 'a joke.' Despite these challenges, the USPS remains a vital institution in American life, serving as a crucial point of contact in many communities. In areas where government presence is minimal, post offices often represent the only public space available, highlighting their importance in maintaining democratic engagement. As discussions about potential replacements, like Amazon, arise, it's essential to recognize the unique role USPS plays in connecting citizens and delivering essential services.
