“British govt cleared Czech billionaire purchase of Royal Mail's parent co, Internat Distrib Services, for $4.56 billion…
If the deal is finalized, it will mark the first time the Royal Mail has been operated by an overseas owner in its 500-year history.”

The point of their desire to privatize the USPS is to liquidate USPS' wildly overfunded pension. By congressional order, USPS was pre-funding the pension plan to rediculous levels, even funding it for people who have not been born yet. There's $40 billion in there that could disappear into private equity, and you can buy an awful lot of congresscritter for just 1% of that amount.
@artemesia @GottaLaff They want FedEx and UPS or even Amazon to deliver mail.
I'm not sure what your point is. Fedex and UPS already do deliver packages and offer retail package delivery services. USPS priority mail is a copy of a service Fedex pioneered, affordable fast, tracked, insured delivery. Fedex and UPS often use USPS for final day's delivery.
@artemesia @GottaLaff My point was that; possibly, the idiot may get a "cut" of the profits from those companies that would handle services of USPS.
