    I feel like this was a very intentional side-effect of the tariff idiocy. I’d bet my next paycheck that Johnson is going to push for fully privatizing the USPS because “it’s no longer able to make a profit” - ignoring the fact that that was never the fucking point.

      I don’t know if the tariffs were designed to do that, but I’m sure the plan has been to privatize the USPS and many of the functions of the agencies that have been gutted–the goal is to either eliminate or privatize as much of government services as can be done.
