It sure is, but privatizing opens up an entire other can of worms. It'd be far easier to "disappear" someone's mail in a private corporation unless there is strong legal oversight. And that brings it back to having elected politicians controlling who's auditing the private delivery companies. It's a mess.

Which is not the same thing as having mail delivery being controlled by private companies, who are even less answerable to the public than elected politicians.

Pander to people acting in bad faith because they act in bad faith...

Seems like a good strategy.

We need the postal service to be a gov entity because the alternative is having UPS control our elections.

That wouldn't solve anything. If it's not controlled by elected politicians, it could still be controlled by others with political or ideological motivations, and it would be harder to hold those people accountable.

The real solution is political checks and balances and more oversight.
