    It amazes me that the Postal Service was talking about cutting off Saturday deliveries to save costs but then is delivering packages for Amazon on Sundays and probably charging Amazon below their cost to do so.

    How about everyone register for an official US Citizen email address and we get rid of paperwork all together?

    Let the PO close like any other real company would do if they lost that crazy of an amount a year and the other carriers can take ready of whatever had to be physically delivered? You would Libtards cream themeselves by how envromentally friendly it would be. Capitalist would save money which would make fiscal sense. The gooberment would save billions of dollars a year to waste on other crap they don't need / want they just have to spend the money before end of fiscal so they don't have a shortened budget the following year (there's more nonsense that needs to end as well).

    Yea I know.....

    Oh and stop all back pay during furloughs.

    The exception should always be military, they should get paid no matter what.

    A big part of the problem for the post office is that even though they are a corporation, they cannot adjust the organization and business practices to meet market influences and stresses without going through congressional approval. They are this weird carryover from times past where postal deliveries were classified as critical to the nation and given special protections, but lost all flexibility, and the special protections are for things that no longer exist. A normal government agency gets an ever deepening pot of money to cover the new and burgeoning regulatory requirements. The post office has to beg to raise the price of stamps to try and keep up.

    That concept that the post office is critical to national security is pretty much gone at this point. Immediate matters are handled through secure email. Critical documents are more trusted to FedEx. Technology and modern capability has passed up the post office. The question now is how long will it hang around before it disappears.

    Post Office is a mess to me because of government involvement. Where I'm at, I receiver other neighbors mail more times than once and they receive mine. I ship everything I can through FedEx that seems way more effective of a system. Take the government out of it and I bet it would be corrected like anything else.

    Funny that I got a $2.12 postage due notice on a tiny package from Ebay. I have had postage due a dozen times in the last 2 years. One was for 15 cents a while back. This is a huge waste of everyone's time. And how does it get received at the mailing location missing postage and not returned to sender. I decided today I'm no longer paying postage due. Hope it causes them to change.
