Ep 121: privatisation of the US Postal Service, with Mark Fallon

Jul 30, 2018

The Trump Administration recently announced that privatisation is on the cards for the US Postal Service. Mark Fallon, President and CEO of the Berkshire Company, joins me to analyse the announcement. We cover:

• What the announcement really means, including whether or not it is binding
• The possibility of Congress passing legislation to privatise the USPS
• Is partial privatisation a possibility?
• Competition and access to the mailbox
• Previous postal reform legislation
• Postal banking
• Update on other current legislation (a staggering amount!) that relates to the USPS
• The Board of Governors
