The post office has been vital for decades. Now it needs to be dismantled.
One of the main problems is rural areas. People say just let UPS handle it, but in rural areas UPS uses the post office.
Getting rid of the post office likely means massive spikes in the cost of all packages or mail to rural places.
The likely answer is cutting postal service to two days per week.

Having no postal service also elevates companies like UPS into the 'too big to fail' category and puts them in charge of vital necessary services.
A huge mistake in other sectors we should not repeat in this one.
