Junk mail pays for the postal system, so I doubt you'll see less of it. Three day delivery makes sense, cover half the area MWF, the other half on TTS.

Small towns used to not have delivery at all. You had a PO Box and dropped by the post office. Go back to that and do the other and you could save a fortune without impacting service significantly. Here's where it gets tricky, though. That would mean eliminating JOBS. The Feds have no idea how to downsize an organization. It's not in their DNA.

It's a different world. The Post Office never heard of email? Guess what will be taxed next along with everything else we do...like food, clothes, housing, driving.

And for what...to feed the government's unsatiable appetite to pay for PORK. We're the "White Meat".

Three day delivery makes sense. You could still overnight things if absolutely necessary, but most of us can wait an extra day for that preapproved credit card application.

But lots of holidays fall on Monday. I don't see why daily deliveries to PO boxes or businesses addresses with lots of mailboxes next to each other should be cut. It's delivery to residential and rural addresses that cost so much.
