My husband and I were talking about this yesterday. We could survive without USPS, especially if our taxes are less because all the subsidies are gone.

My brother is a postmaster and he said if Congress would cut out just Sat delivery it would save millions.....why won’t they? I said if they would just have Mon-Wed-Fri delivery just imagine what would be saved!

Since the 1970s, he USPS operates on revenues earned from services provided, not through taxpayer subsidies.

The American national postal unions have never gone out on strike.

Didn’t South Park do an episode like this?

The US Post office is little more than a taxpayer funded Junk Mail distributor.

Who needs it? Who can afford this?

Buh Bye.

Can’t remember the last time something important came to our house via the US mail service.

I wrote elsewhere yesterday that the mail delivery should be restructured to a once a week delivery similar to the way trash is picked up in different sections of the city on a different day of the week. We could eliminate over half of the employees and 80% of the delivery trucks, etc. What do we really receive in the mail that is so important and time sensitive? If it needs to be there overnight, let Fedex do it.
