A slow-developing story over our Pandemic Spring and now Summer that may not be getting enough attention is the attempt to starve and then gut the Post Office, sell it off for scrap, and ultimately to privatize it.
This is also a useful move to interfere with vote-by-mail and the November election. Even here, vote-by-mail, not to mention ordinary checks, bills, medicines, and love letters, are all potentially imperiled.

Get some stamps, write some letters or postcards, and support the post
office - because it's definitely something whose loss we'll regret once
it's gone.
Our first stamp honors our first postmaster.
Successive stamp issues recognize so many other interesting things. Here are some of special or local interest on the blog. Across multiple cultural and economic dimensions, USPS is an important institution.
