Alternative take: USPS is really quite a remarkable business and worth learning about as a case study - from their fleet, to eating 90s darling FedEx alive, to overcoming artificially created political pressures (eg PECA), to becoming Amazon's chief US delivery partner, and much more.

Was curious: "marketing" mail was 18% of USPS revenue[1] (2020) and dropping. Low share of total earnings compared to Meta, Google, and soon Amazon's ad revenue.
