Exactly.

Well if it resulted in the arrests of these NJ politicians, that would end well.

It’s gonna end phenomenally if you like good comedy.

Hmmmmmmm.....

As a retired postal employee I'd say in a few locations that would be true, but in all the offices I worked in, the vast majority of employees were conservative. I'd imagine in the dense population centers of the country, we're it mattered most to the election of deep state individuals, then those postal e.ployees would probably bend a knee to make sure certain people got elected.

That is correct, in a way that is not obvious on first inspection.

It is without doubt that private enterprises such as FedEx, USPS, and DHL are faster and far more efficient than Post Offices, regardless of the country. And if handed daily mail would do a better job. So why do governments everywhere insist on holding on to post office departments?

The usual argument the state provides is that they provide universal coverage of postal delivery at a flat rate, which private carriers would not, taking as an unchangeable premise that everyone in the country has a "right" to equal-cost mail delivery, no matter how remote the location. Socialized mail delivery, essentially. That may or may not be true, but it is not the real reason.

Institutional momentum plays a factor, as does political expediency. They are an employer of a large block low skilled workers, including black and Hispanic, a large portion of whom would be on Unemployment or experience intermittent employment. Steady paychecks help stabilize an "at risk" demographic. Yet, this is not the real reason either.

The original motivating purpose of the Post Office, everywhere, at the request of the King, is for the government of one country to have the ability to spy on all other countries. From the beginning special rooms are built to siphon off diplomatic mail, surreptitiously open the letters and packages, document and copy the contents, then seal it back up and sent it on its way in as pristine condition possible. Every country plays this game of cat and mouse. And no country is willing to relinquish it. Even in this day in age when so many other forms of communication are available.

I learned this from reading the book The Code Breakers. It was an "I could of had a V8!" moment for me, if you are old enough to remember those TV commercials.
