If you haven’t heard, the United States Postal Service is in a money crunch with a projected $238 billion shortfall over the next ten years. The Postmaster General has proposed a controversial plan to save money: deliver mail only five days a week to home addresses while continuing six-day delivery to Post Offices and P.O. Boxes.
The Postal Service lists the major changes on its Web site. The main difference is that mail will not be picked up from collection boxes or processed at retail counters until the following Monday. This plan will not become in effect until at least October 2010, but Congress has the opportunity to prevent the proposal through new legislation.

I think it’s just a matter of time before the postal service is whittled down to a minimal branch of the federal government. E-mail is cost effective, environmentally friendly and (almost) immediate. Unfortunately, until we as a nation can address the lack of efficient internet services to everyone in the country, a lot of people and places have nothing else to rely on for their sending and receiving needs.
