What is "the post office" for Europe?
AFAIK a lot of European countries have an equivalent of the USPS. Though in doing a quick search for this post I learned that Germany doesn’t have a state owned mail service anymore which is weird. Maybe it’s time for the EU to take on that role?
Dutchy here; our national post office has been privatised decades ago (it currently goes by the name of PostNL). I believe most (western) eu countries don't have a national postal service anymore, like there isn't a national phone, tv or internet provider anymore.
Same here in Sweden. Our right wing governments have destroyed everything in the last 30 years.
