An attack on the U.S. Postal Service is an attack on America’s small businesses.
While media attention on cuts made to the agency by President Donald Trump-appointee Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has focused on potential effects on the upcoming election, it’s important to note the effect these reductions will have on the health of our country’s small businesses.
