The "super centers" are not completed. tens of billions of dollars in postal revenue made to package for some idiot corporation. The ones completed do not work well at all. If they did work they still need a network infrastructure. Letters are delayed and doomed. The investor game will last only until the meltdown and the headaches and the abused work force cave in the illusions. History shows there is no going back, no lasting profit to be made. Even the other delivery corps need our infrastructure. The taxpayer, rate payer will be on the hook to support these special snowflakes in their illusory gains.

And it will not work for a long time of destruction and cost and loss of network for everyone, further hampering the economy and any recovery(because how will all those ads and business mail be delivered to everyone?).

Again, when a giant river of mail is suddenly funneled to a new center several inescapable and timeworn factors will tie it in knots, as has been amply demonstrated in all the early supercenters. The backlogs will fill all the parking spaces in the regions with stalled trucks. Rushed inefficiency will mess up and harm all delayed mail. The locals will scream at their congress critters in complete futility.

The "gifted" corporations might have the sense to capitalize early on the PR then do what all crooks since time began have done. This will be tremendously worse than other countries and probably be accompanied with union destruction. No ill paid workers can sustain the USPS operation. They will suffer then quit. Bosses will become more and more stressed, ignorant and overworked. Of course, ALL Americans- except Russian agents- will be harmed.
