U.S. Postal Service to eliminate next-day delivery - the print media impact

Each week our secretary has to measure and record the ad ratio. We haven't exactly come close to missing the ratio yet.
Another thing I believe the permit allows us to do is send out postcards once or twice a year encouraging people to subscribe. You can't do it whenever or wherever you want, it is quite limited.
And buckweaver, thanks for that link, quite fascinating.

 

USPS is smart company that suffers from being saddled with too many outlets. Close 30 percent of the offices and get staffing to wear it needs to be and they would be booming.

 

The New York Times said that the Post Office will only save 200 million from the cuts that are currently planned. Not sure if cutting more offices is enough. In newer residential construction, built in approxiamtely the last 30 years, collective mailboxes are required for residences. Time to roll them out for everyone.

And the link was fascinating. Basically the link said due to a 2006 law the Post Office is supposed to prefund future health benefits to the tune of 5B a year. No other government organization or private entity does this. I guess the 5B contribution is used tor reduce the deficit. That law needs to be changed.

 

They are also owed a $7 billion refund for overpaying on retirement benefits. Congress won't budge on giving it back. No surprise.

This is a privatization scam. Nothing more.

UPS, DHL, Fed Ex etc. will swoop on the closed sorting centers and pick them up for dirt cheap. Just you watch.
