Wrong. Nobody cares.
What a namby-pamby Government-loving article. Why did you post it?
The postal service has plenty of their own problems but the biggest were created by congress. Personally I would dump PAEA, allow the postal service to set stamp prices at will, and decide hours locally. I’m also fine with ending Saturday delivery.
I’m in a location that doesn’t exist in some of the package routing and tracking software so if I order something, it has to go to the post office or I don’t get it.
The USPS could set about reducing its disastrous inefficiencies. Instead it's bleating about having to pay for its own poorly-negotiated liabilities.
The usual FR union-hacks can't bear the idea of a Government agency not having its liabilities paid for by the tax-payers in perpetuity. I am so surprised.
It all depends on whose ox is being gored.
I suspect that before August gets here Congress will stop them from ending Saturday mail too. The entire junk mail industry has built their process around filling your mailbox with junk on Saturdays.
When they tried to close some post offices one of the ones that made the list around here was in a heavily populated area. A neighborhood where many of the residents were Democrats and Government Union employees. As you can imagine the hue and cry was overwhelming. To the point I suspect that office was specifically targeted to generate just such an outpouring of “you can’t close our post office” public lobbying.
I can think of many other rarely used locations in sparsely populated areas that would have made much more sense to close.
