I'm equally agog at your take, for whatever it's worth. The Post Office is wonderful, and it boils my blood to see legislation that aims to destroy it. I would love to see the Post Office handle banking.

I'm also fascinated when can this sentiment expressed when there are so many posts along the lines of {Apple,Amazon,Facebook} deleted my account with no warning or explanation, and I can't help wondering if the folks saying this is why you're an idiot if you don't run your own email server are the same as the ones saying you're an idiot if you don't trust Amazon to be your sole postal provider.

Amazon isn’t a postal provider and they aren’t a monopoly. WTF are you talking about?
Funny enough almost every single person who has actually worked at the post office thinks postal banking is a ludicrous idea.
