Looks like Saturday deliveries are going to be no more?

Looks like we'll have to step up the bombing to get them back in the black.

I wonder if that includes PO Box delivery, or is just residential/street delivery. Unless I read it incorrectly (and I will say I only just skimmed it) it doesn't specifically say that mail will not be transported on Saturdays, just no delivery service - so you would still have outgoing collectons on Saturday.

They plan to propose a plan to Congress. Nothing in stone and they've been told before that Congress wouldn't be happy.

I really like having Saturday delivery. That is why I use USPS.

Even if USPS loses money, it is critical to the US Economy and our national interest/security that our postal service be of the highest standard and affordable.

I'd rather our tax money go to maintain the excellent service we have than a lot of things we dump even more money into.
