    Look, I understand that the postal service has a storied history and has done great things for this country, but it's very clear that they're not agile and responsive enough to survive in a digital world. UPS and FedEx are thriving right now during Covid, but the Post Office is begging people to buy stamps. Clearly the innovation potential and flexibility of private companies is what we should be supporting. Imagine how much more effective the already effective UPS could be if they had access to your mailbox, or were able to take over all the post offices in this country and utilize them as compact and efficient distribution centers. Not to mention that the government would probably be able to get a pretty penny from the sale! Imagine the reduction in the deficit!

      Hi, as a white guy working in silicon valley its obvious that centralised posting is untenable in the future, it simply can't adapt to the current breakneck pace of innovation. Clearly this will be replaced by multilayer overlapping posting meshes made up of competing actors, ensuring an efficient decentralised low latency delivery mechanism that every one can afford. Of course this mesh will need to be managed though an app, where independent actors can receive instructions, feedback and their compensation in bezo-bux, anyway if you think these opportunities sound interesting contact me for information about how to get in on the ground floor of our VC seed fund, but please only serious offers.
