im getting tired of the governments bullshit! :2 cents:

Taxes don't pay for the post office. What do they have to do with it?

The post office is a failing business. Changes are coming.

@brassmonkey
Did you even read the article?

some of it im half asleep and saw it on the news grabbed an article. :) when its 5 days a week people will just suck it up i guess. :Oh crap ill be that one guy with a bull horn in front of my local office :1orglaugh

I heard they want to avoid going 5 days a week because the layoffs from the Post Office would be devastating to the economy. They would get rid of so much of their work force.

support your local post office!

They're also going to announce shortly that they're closing 3600+ post offices as well.

Honestly? How can people not know that the Post Office - until recently - generated income for the US government?

Okay, here's a test. Name a government agency that has always provided income to the US government. (Other than the Post Office.)

5 days a week is fine with me. im usually to hung over on Saturday to check the mail anyway :1orglaugh

5 days? Why not 3 days? Who needs mail delivered more than every other day? This is the kind of excess that got us into the problem in the first place. 6 days a week so everyone can get their once a month bills? Stupid!

They were talking about 3 day service not to long ago...

"WASHINGTON -- Could mail delivery be cut back to three days-a-week?

That's not under consideration right now, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said Wednesday. But it's something that could happen in 15 to 20 years if mail volume continues to decline.

What the Postal Service needs right now are changes in the law allowing it to reduce delivery to five days-a-week and to resolve an annual requirement for it to pay $5.5 billion into a fund for future retiree medical costs, Donahoe said in a telephone interview."

its time to remake this bitch. too much where did the money go.

Even Obama threw them under the bus:
"UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

Oh wait, what?

I'll bet that was not on the teleprompter.

it was messed up before obama. did you see how many times the price of stamps went up when bush was in there??? :helpme obama took over a war that the bush family started junior and senior both pieces of shit. :2 cents:

They are closing one post office here and a bunch across the US. One of my ex-b/f works for the post office going on 30 years now hope he doesn't get fucked in the end.

30 years?? how old are you?

i cant afford to use the post office :(
