I've been thinking about all those retailers who do business through our USPS.. as in what in the heck are they going to do without our Post Office?! In addition to us out here in the middle of nowhere. I've been talking about this to my family for a couple of months.

The coalition intends to spend more than $2 million on the campaign in an attempt to whip up Republican opposition to Mr. Trump’s idea, pressing lawmakers instead to support a multibillion-dollar rescue package proposed by Democrats that would help the Postal Service survive the sharp drop in revenue and mail volume caused by the pandemic.

Is it me or does $2 Million seem like a small amount for this kind of challenge?

Amazon, CVS and others involved in the campaign rely on the Postal Service for delivery of millions of packages a year and could see significant business disruptions if the agency had to sharply increase rates or went bankrupt.
