Eli5 How does a stamp cover the cost of sending a letter?

It confuses me on how one stamp can cover the cost of sending something basically anywhere in the states, and international isn’t much more.

Wouldn’t the gas alone cost more?

That’s because it isn’t one parcel getting shipped. There are thousands of pieces of mail that get shipped with your letter.

Think of an air plane one $500 ticket isn’t going to cover gas, but 130 passengers paying $500 each will.
