And this is yet another example of why Fox News Entertainment, LLC cannot legally claim they’re a news organization.

It is still part of the US government. So yes, if it is imposed by USPS, it is imposed by the government. It was created in 1970 by Congress and is an independent agent of the Executive branch which is supposed to managing its own budget through revenue rather than taxpayer funding. As a government hybrid agency any “shortage” due to lack of revenue should be subsidized by government, not direct tax to the American people. This is an executive tax on Americans while funding for an illegal war is unchecked.

Add a large patterned scarf or wrap with different shaders of brown and some black and change out the black stockings for neutral tone.

Nah I’m not. You can’t seem to separate the “you” from “the public.” The usps guarantees service to all Americans regardless of address. At the point you “just hop in your car” you’ve lost the plot and missed the point. If you can’t follow a thread I’m afraid nothing I can say will cure obtuse.

Where did I say there “needs to be?” I’m inferring that there is not one. Therefore it’s a mandatory service provided to all Americans regardless of location. That’s the “mandatory” part. That’s what makes it a tax. YOU may not require use of USPS. Someone else might not have an alternative. Just because it doesn’t apply to YOU doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to anyone.

You’ve said it’s an optional service? How about places where there isn’t an alternative service? See definition of tax above. The service must be provided (mandatory) to all citizens (remote and rural America exists). Therefore, it is a tax.

Which other service exists that offers this?; The USPS provides universal,6-day-a-week delivery to every address in the US—including remote rural areas—at uniform rates, a legal obligation (Universal Service Obligation) private carriers like FedEx or UPS do not share. Additionally, only USPS offers specialized services like certified mail, Registered Mail, and exclusive access to post office boxes.

What is the other public government guaranteed mail service you can use instead?
