The Postal Service is pushing ahead with plans to reduce costs and avoid bankruptcy, the Associated Press reports. That means closing about half the mail processing centers across the country and lowering delivery standards for first-class mail.
Currently, first-class mail is supposed to be delivered to homes and businesses within the continental U.S. in one day to three days. That will lengthen to two days to three days. The estimated $3 billion in reductions, are expected to be announced in broader detail later today.

Lets face it , the post office is another government parcel screwed up.
1. No supervision
2. No leadership
3. No goals
4. Lazy employees
5. no productivity
The people who depend on the mail for mailing bills etc. are the ones that are raped.
The businesses that mail the junk mail get reduced rates. That's screwed up!
I hope they close the whole Postal Service down.
Start with the westside mini-postal places. They are a joke!
Tyaskin , Bivalve , Hebron , Quantico and Nanticoke need to go.
Both the USPS and libraries are obsolete in their current form. I pay every bill I can online when there is no fee for me to do so. Unemployment and food stamps are electronic as is banking. As for libraries, you can buy a Kindle like device cheaper than a single printed textbook and you can research data much faster electronically than you can locate the books on the shelf that have the data you are interested in. With routers, you don't need any processing centers.
Great business model: slash service, raise prices, keep non-productive, lazy employees, and pay gigantic pensions. Shame UPS, FedEx, and other profitable businesses don't do the same.
