If usps doesn’t want to deliver to rural addresses, fine, but set up some alternatives. Create a secured remote mailbox, or offer P.O. Boxes for free.

The fundamental problem here is that the US population doesn't really want to pay for stuff where they don't directly benefit. In "me first" politics, rural populations are screwed.

This is true everywhere, not just rural areas. In suburbs we have “community mailboxes” and they are constantly broken into. Law enforcement takes a report, and that’s it. For something that’s a federal crime with its its own enforcement arm, mail theft sure isn’t taken seriously anymore.

Shit it sucks in the city. Just spoke to someone that owes me a check. The company said it went out n the mail Tuesday. This is local the place six blocks away (wish they had let me pick it up) should had it next day.
