If the post office needs tax payer money every 30 years or so for a new fleet vehicle then that's a great use of tax payer money, they make it last, everyone benefits, no special interest groups or identity politics.

Ours are all 1994 models which was the last year of the Grumman LLV. Side note if you see any postal vehicle look at the first number of the truck number. That number is the last number of the year it was made. So ours are all 4317xxx so the 4 means either 1984, 1994, 2004, or 2014 in our case 1994. Our newest trucks are 2020 Dodge Promasters which are 0341xxx. Actually I take that back we just got 2 2021 Mercedes Metris vans. When I say "our" vehicles, I mean our specific office.
I think you are totally wrong on your 2nd part though. Not everyone benefits. Not UPS or FedEx. Not small town mom and pop competition to Amazon, Walmart, or Target.
