I have a plan for privatization right here on my computer. The big picture items are:

(1) Employee buy out,

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

(3) We do a leveraged buy out of Fed Ex and UPS, and then displace Postal managers with UPS managers ~ and Fed Ex becomes the exclusive air lift provider for the new USPS.

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).

Minimum quantities eligible for presort or bulk rate discounts would be raised substantially.

What do think should be the minimums?

Many of the little non-profit churchs are dropping out of Presort because they no longer have 200 members. Same thing with smaller VFW, Legion, DAV posts, etc.

The new Move Update requirements are killing off many of the little guys. And when the IMB's become required many of the remainder will quit rather than buy a computer and software.

Telling them to hire a mail house doesn't sit well either.

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.
