Why not raise the price of postage to $10 per letter? That should bring in plenty of money for six, or even seven day service.

Another one requiring a double take as it seems to be from The Onion or similar. Amazing.

Canada post dropped Saturday delivery decades ago when it was still called Royal Mail. We somehow managed to survive.

>> Their goal is to stop Congress from reducing postal delivery to five days a week.
Congress’ treatment of USPS is appalling. But not surprising given USPS revenue is tied to counter sales, not taxation.
USPS must make the tough decisions any corporation is required to make in tough economic times. Hope it arrives at a commercially successful point. I wish USPS well.

USPS claims they suffer because of Email and the digital age. BS, BS, BS!!!! What about Ebay, Amazon and all the online retailer business generated by the Internet? They dare not mention their FAT CAT PENSION liabilities, oh no!!

They really haven't had to make those "tough decisions" you speak of, in the past. They are a government agency after all.

I sent a package priority mail from Seattle to Los Angeles on Monday. According to tracking it didn’t leave Seattle until Wednesday. It has yet to be delivered. And you can’t get a refund.

Speaking of email address, whatever happened to the USPS’ plan to give everyone in the United States an email address and require them to use it?

True, but its different from the other agencies in that its revenue is not based on taxation, but through commercial sales.
