ABOLISHUSPS
United States Postal Service
A government monopoly on your letters. It still loses money.
Official story
What they claim to do
Delivers mail and packages to every address in America.
Ground truth
What they actually do
Has posted net losses in most years since 2007, while holding a legal monopoly on letter delivery under the Private Express Statutes. FedEx, UPS and Amazon built competing delivery networks and fight for the packages that now matter most.
The libertarian case
Email replaced first-class mail, and the monopoly is a leftover. Private carriers deliver parcels profitably every day. End the monopoly, let the Postal Service compete or be sold, and stop making taxpayers and ratepayers cover the gap.
