Yeah, right--destroying a public service that benefits every American, just because Bezos happens to own a newspaper that is usually critical of this president. I think that no matter what one's political leanings might be, we can probably all agree that this is just not smart, not a good idea. So, how to support the Post Office, which we all need?
Leaving aside the big structural changes that Congress should consider (although we can and should all make suggestions to our Congress-people), one thing we can all do is buy stamps, tell our postal workers we care, and send cards and letters to our friends and family members.
And I have a suggestion for you on where to get cards, if you don't have a stockpile of nice stationery at home (or even if you do)!
Archelaus Cards is a small business in Washington, DC, which sells cards wholesale to stores all over North America (and even to Australia)... and also, retail, to individuals. Since stationery stores and bookstores are not generally open for visits just now, buying direct from Archelaus gets you a nice supply of cards while supporting a small business that is currently seeing lower sales from its usual customers.
Here's a link to the newest designs, which include some particularly pandemic-suitable items. You might also want to stock up on get-well cards and (I hate to say this) sympathy cards. A Welcome Back card is also very suitable for returns from the hospital or practically anywhere else someone may have gone (even the supermarket)! Archelaus also offers many birthday options, as well as Mother's Day cards and cards for all manner of other occasions.
(You can see the card below more clearly here.)
