(2) Government grants full service monopoly for 20 years, renegotiable indefinitely for additional 20 year periods,

Service changes will include the closure of 28,000 useless facilities that actually impede the speedy delivery of mail to the rural sector, the elimination of door delivery in residential areas (to be replaced with cluster boxes), the elimination of Tuesday delivery, and quick negotiation with states, counties and cities where there are buildings rented by USPS to EXEMPT those buildings from property taxes (else a building will be rented some other town that makes that agreement).

The mail houses volumes seems to be increasing again, after a slump of a few months.
Lots of CSRS folks here still waiting for a reason to leave.
