[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 970879, member: 17969"] Again, another FAIL. How many times do we have to have this conversation about the goverment running the post office? Hopefully for the last time: THE GOVERMENT DOES NOT RUN THE POST OFFICE. It has a board of directors and THEY make decisions and take those decisions to CONGRESS for approval. The GOVERMENT does not make any daily decisions for the post office nor is there any office of the post office in the goverment. My point is that people wont transition unless they are forced to transition and thats what you said. I rarely write a check anymore, i havent bought a stamp in 3 years, I havent purchased a box of envelopes in years. I pay everything online. Now multiply this by tens of millions of people and that loss of revenue is DEVASTATING for the post office. I dont think Ive even been to a post office since at least 2007. There is no delusion to my thinking, its a fact. The older generation is the toughest generation to get to make transitions. They are set in their ways and they are ALWAYS the last to come around. NO level of change in operations at the post office can make up for the loss of revenue. Losing 18 billion dollars a year is a recipe for disaster. The postal board has already shut down post offices and hubs across the country, they have condensed hubs, cut routes and even has decided to make NEW routes "RURAL" routes no matter where they are just to be able to hired part time carriers. Losing saturday service will save money, but not save the post office. If this was done, the Post office would be able to shed 150 thousand employees. I realize that most of you dont understand how this could be the case by ending saturday service, and if anyone needs an explanation ill do so. Online bill paying is the present and moreover, the future. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
