What they should do is get rid of half of all USPS employees involved in handling mail, then deliver to half of all locations Monday-Wednesday-Friday, and the other half Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday.
Anyone who wants every-day delivery will pay for it, unless they get enough mail that it makes sense for the post office to send a truck out to them every day.
There have been great reductions in force. In fact big sorting centers like where I work are going from 500 to
about 200.
Maybe we should stop delivering to every single address in
the country. So you live in Pawlet, Vermont, on the NY
border? No longer will you get mail in your mailbox. Instead,
drive 30 miles to Rutland and pick it up there.
That would help...right? (/ sarcasm)
