    It won't fade away, it will be routed to the dead letter office.

    As soon as they turn the continuation of the USPS (in its present form) into a "haves versus have nots" argument....it's grab your ankles time.
    I'd be willing to bet that this service could be run profitably. I'd actually settle for only being 7-8 figures in the hole, truth be told!
    We're not going to get that.
    If the USPS continues to bleed out at its current rate, we have billions worth of exposure on this institution. As soon as the punditry turn it into the next equal rights battleground for the economically disadvantaged, then no burden will be too great to bear in keeping this "vital service" afloat.
    Crank up the printing presses!!! :(

    Oh, I'm not saying that we need to have mail delivery six days a week. Personally, I think mail delivery could go to one day a week to get those absolutely vital need to have stuff delivered but with the power of a union with that many members it isn't going anywhere.

    The irony of this statement looking back from now,

    until recently a first class letter took 2-3 days, now they claim 5 but mine take 8-10

    enschmidtification is being used to try to force it to become so bad that when they privatize delivery like England has done for certain packages/areas you will be grateful that they only loose a full month of packages for an entire city.

    Id.me, VA healthcare and apparently the food stamp card you can never use are already all in the unusable category
