President Trump's efforts to dismantle and privatize the U.S. Postal Service are a threat to rural America, longtime rural resident Bill McKibben writes for The New Yorker.

"In 2012, when the Postal Service planned on closing 3,830 branches, an analysis by Reuters showed that eighty percent of those branches were in rural areas where the poverty rate topped the national average," McKibben writes. "You know who delivers the Amazon package the final mile to rural Americans? The USPS. You know how people get medicine, when the pharmacy is an hour’s drive away? In their mailbox. You know why many people can’t pay their bills electronically? Because too much of rural America has impossibly slow internet, or none at all."
