Greetings All. As I sit in front of my computer and read newspapers from around the US, review my bills on line and finally pay my bills online I begin to wonder why I need to walk out to my mail box more than 3 times a week. If I need to get something out quickly to Andy I can go to the Fed Ex shop and have it sent out at a very reasonable cost and Andy will have in 1, 2 or 3 days depending how much I want to spend to get it there. Again, send it at the cost I want to spend.
The day of faxes and scans being legal documents has arrived, so I say use them. I know that not every house hold has a computer. My answer to that is "why not"? Uncle Sam should get one for every house hold and teach the people to use it. It would not cost a fraction of what they are spending now and it will put American to work building, delivering and training our citizen to use it. You could see a great return on invested dollars by shutting the Post Office down to 3 deliveries a week. You may need some workers in for 4 days but the primary mail would go just 3 days. As far as the rest of the days during the week they should compete with Fed Ex or UPS for the individual personal and business mail the people want to choose their cost to send it. I am not sure that this will make the Postal Service profitable or not, but I got to believe the loss will be considerably less and if the publicly operated service could do better then I would shut the Postal Service down.and start counting our profits.
Think about it when have you sent a letter by US Mail? When did you mail a bill payment? I rest my case.
Well everyone take care and think about this thought as a way to make our economy stronger.
Peace out, Papa Stu
