      how? for more than half of the US fedex, ups, and for ~ two places dhl exist. vertical integration isn’t prevented by anti-trust or monopoly laws.

      The USPS is important because of rural and remote places that would otherwise completely lack mail services for even just sending tax to the government.

          Antitrust law is about more than just literal monopolies.
