6 day a week home delivery is the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ way.

Next thing y'know, we will lose our penny because πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ did.

Stop charging Moi for those "bulk rate" materials that do not pay their way.

Another example of Federal Corporationism.

I want my Saturday mail ! 😑

I mail probably 500-600 pieces of 1st class a year. But I wouldn't mind missing out on Saturdays. I, too, pay most of my bills with online banking.

"Bulk rate" materials make up a larger portion of USPS revenue than First Class mail does and therefore is indispensable as far as total sales are concerned. You pay nothing for the USPS except what you pay for postage and services -No taxes - No subsidies. The entire postal system is off the federal budget. --FLO--

We have our bills paid automatically. The companies send the bill to the bank and the bank pays it. Without Sat. mail, they should still be paid by the bank. However, we have copies of the bills that come to us to let us know it is being deducted. And I would imagine that companies will have to adjust their payment dates so that they do not fall on Sat. any more.

I'd be happy to write this off as an A-1 rated rant unless you start that post on politics and give your evidence.

Like I don't have evidence? When wasn't I able to back up my posts?

I was being nice and only mentioning it but if you insist...

Please do. I'd be interested. All I know about it, besides the occassional newspaper article, is from a long cross country flight sitting next to a USPS accountant.
