Stop the US mail!

Article Abstract:

The US Congress outlawed private mail delivery within cities in 1825 and gave the US Postal Service (USPS) a monopoly over first-class letters and third-class items like magazines, catalogs and junk mail. The only reason the USPS still holds a monopoly is because it contributes significantly to the US economy and hence, better alternatives such as paying bills online would be required to bury the USPS and end its monopoly.
