Instead of abolishing the USPS as a quasi-public entity and replacing it with less efficient and equitably distributed private sector solutions, we should be reforming the Post Office as a fully public entity. Let them operate without a thought for profitability.
Bring back postal banking. Make the Postmaster General a cabinet level position again with a broad writ of keeping people connected.
Make the USPS an internet service provider.
Have the USPS administrate municipal-wide wifi.
I know that seems like an FCC thing and obviously the FCC would be involved in any national internet project but there are already post offices everywhere. The FCC& #39;s not running quasi-commercial operations in every city and town in the country.
Oh, and before this thread starts circulating too widely, let me clarify: I& #39;m not saying replace mail with internet. I& #39;m saying let& #39;s have the post office perform these vital functions in addition to the vital function of delivering mail.
