[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 970490, member: 17969"] There really is no sunshine on the horizon for the post office. The push to go green with paperless contacts will be the norm in the next 10 years. Online billing and bill paying continues to destroy the post office revenues and unless people are willing to pay 1.50 a stamp to send a letter or bill payment, the post office will eventually go broke. Old people who refuse to transition to online bill payments need the post office and its services, but they make up a small majority of americans. The post office will have to increase its share of parcel pickups and 00deliveries and become more like UPS in order to attempt to increase revenue. The days of the mailman walking up to our mailboxes is long gone. That business model has seen its final days. The next step for the post office should be to charge a fee for mail service from every american. A monthly charge of $25 would help to keep the post office alive, but many people would not pay the fee. The "socialist" service known as the post office is dead for all practical purpose. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
