Postal workers' unions across the United States have been staging protests against the privatization of the USPS. Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been proponents of this idea, with Trump even suggesting merging the USPS with the Commerce Department. However, experts warn that privatizing the USPS could result in increased prices, negative impacts on rural areas, and consequences for nonprofits and businesses that rely on the postal service. There are concerns that a private company taking over USPS operations may lead to higher prices, reduced services, and potential closures of numerous USPS offices, particularly affecting rural and remote communities.
