I would not go that far, there still lots of folks that love the mailbox, my now deceased grandmother was one, she loved watching for the mail man and going to the box, even though she almost never got anything it was just in hope that there would be a letter. I could see going to 3-4 days at first them mayber cutting again later if need be.
The USPS lost roughly $16 billion last year.
Cutting out Saturday delivery saves $2 billion per year.
Hypothetically, let's cut out Monday to Friday delivery.
That saves another $10 billion per year.
So with all USPS operations suspended -- the USPS would still be losing 4 billion per year.
I can't see the math adding up either, For them to even report Loosing 16 billion doesn't add up, First of all how do you loose something that was never made in the first place, secondly if they look around within their own agencies they might just find part of what they think they've loss actually spent somewhere else,,
Really, Saturday ONLY mail is the way to go. Cut it back to one day only. Cut costs in a way that will really make a difference. Totally reorganize the whole thing. Get rid of all the deadwood and slackers. If the business is truly there add it back a little at a time. No unions. No gravy trains. Just good business.
Let's do it.
