Leave it to upper postal management to preach slash and burn to “save” the USPS. I would have thought that growing the business wouldnt include cutting a day of service. Its to bad that they just dont wake up and see that the $5.5 billion a year is why the USPS is in the red. Someone is making a lot of money from not pushing what will really make the post office operate in the black. Yet the PMG and his posse of clowns all pull down hefty bonuses every year no matter what color the ink is. Sound like bad bussiness practices to me.

Preach it John, and it’s so sickening that the White House would rather put out this nonsense about “longer run shifts in communications technologies” being the reason the USPS is hemorrhaging money, instead of the ridiculous pension mandate!

Last I checked, they still don’t have an “app” for sending paper checks, birthday cards, and especially parcels – even as we move forward the rapid growth of ecommerce could be a boom for USPS’s cheaper and superior options, but not if we end up cutting back on delivery days.

The foxes are guarding the hen house big time on this issue.

I have an idea Dana. How about removing the Congressional mandate requiring the Postal Service to pre-pay seventy five years worth of future retiree health benefits? Amazingly the USPS would be in the black if this mandate was never imposed.

Another sad situation in America. Knock the working man down, begin the demise of the USPS, start the process toward privatization….a real shame.
