Rural postal workers don’t just deliver mail. They put out fires, help elderly people who’ve fallen, and ensure veterans receive medication during storms. Trump’s proposed USPS privatization threatens these care networks in areas already lacking services.

Not that it matters, but don’t we need a constitutional amendment to be able to privatize it?

Only if the Constitution is still relevant.

The constitution only grants power to the congress to "establish post offices and post roads" therefore, the congress could un-establish it without any admendment.
