These points, where true, have no bearing on the issue being raised in the thread: immediate-term measures to cripple the USPS as a critical piece of election infrastructure.

Your points speak instead to a longer-term question of whether the constitution should be amended to privatize the USPS, or to change its mandate.

These are distinct questions, the latter we've struggled with for decades and does not explain recent measures.
