Postal Service default appears likely

83. If the USPS is so cheap, why does every business I order from use FedEx or UPS?

Every business wants to maximize their profit. So if USPS was cheaper, they would use it. But no business I order from does. Obviously it is not that much cheaper. But if congress actually thought higher rates would affect businesses, they could get rid of the corporate income tax for these companies so they could evenly compete with the USPS. If USPS can deliver everything cheaper than everyone else, why are their minimum price amounts for their competitors making it illegal for them to even try to compete with them? Maybe because the government knows that private companies can do it much cheaper.

USPS is a bunch of snail mail spammers that fill my mailbox with junk every day. 97% of everything I get goes in the trash. They waste gas, trees, and landfill space delivering unwanted junk. If you support the environment you don't support delivering junk mail. I don't care if they are union. If email spammers and telemarketers had unions I wouldn't support them either.
