There have been great reductions in force. In fact big sorting centers like where I work are going from 500 to
about 200.
Maybe we should stop delivering to every single address in
the country. So you live in Pawlet, Vermont, on the NY
border? No longer will you get mail in your mailbox. Instead,
drive 30 miles to Rutland and pick it up there.
That would help...right? (/ sarcasm)
No, people in Pawlet, VT would still get their mail delivered into their mailbox just like they do now ... it would just be Monday-Wednesday-Friday or Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday, instead of six days a the week.
Whatever their schedule is, on their “off” days their mailman would be delivering to some other small town.
