How about we cut most of the staff in half, and give half the country M/W/F service, and the other half T/Th/S. If an extra day or two matters in delivery, you’re probably already not using USPS anyway.
Then cut out all mail that isn’t specifically addressed to the recipient, and the carriers wouldn’t have to lug so much around and the processors wouldn’t have so much to run through th emachines. That way, bulk of the extra day’s letters would would be offset by removing the 2/3 or so that is junk now.

Keep junk mail, but increase rates on junk mail, Junk mail should pay for itself. I like this idea, but maybe start by doing this only for residential deliveries and if it works then, do for business.
That 2/3 of the mail comes to them all presorted, requiring minimal handling. In fact, “junk” mail is the only thing holding the cost of 1st Class postage down to where it now is.
Now there’s an idea I like!
Is it your opinion that business mailings are illegitimate? Like, they have no right to use the USPS? What?
