USPS should be making every effort in such a crisis to
expand the number of things it does for the community, not decrease them. How about, neighborhood banking services, ID verification, government benefits administration, etc? A whole slew of services that they could be the local outpost for -- in every single town in the US?
Unfortunately, the same Congress calling them to task are the ones tying their hands from being able to innovate what they do in this changing world. And produces a dysfunctional, costs-go-to-the-consumer mentality that is destined a slow painful death.
