When I first heard about this on the news today, all I thought was, mail is already slow and now you want to take a day away?! If they have to take a day, I vote Saturday. Most businesses operate Mon-Fri, that all Im saying.
I'd be fine with Saturday's since a good portion of business isn't done on the weekend anyways. Plus, this Internet gizmo isn't helping the cause. I'm not advocating (don't care!), but I could see this tradition ending in the near future to give way to more Internet-like transactions and charging a few cents per.
The post office has been bled for the last 15 to twenty years. I believe that it was an effort to privatize it and now it has to compete with the internet and UPS/FedEX. It's a Nationalized service and should remain so. It's there for the benefit of the people not to make a profit for some private cabal. Just ranting. Thanks Jaycee
The American postal service needs to get out of the business of attempting to make a profit. Once this capitalist concept is banished only then will the government see what their main responsibility really is.
Which day would you be cool with giving up for mail delivery, Tuesday or Saturday?

No mail on Sat please. Just like UPS. If people want Sat mail delivered they will pay for special services.
