Go to five-day mail delivery

I hear the U.S. Postal Service is contemplating layoffs. They are basing this on lower

revenues due to factors such as high fuel costs and lower mail volumes.

Well, I have an idea that could save them some money real quick: Go to five-day delivery.

They have already said they don’t have the mail volume they used to, so handling the mail

shouldn’t be a problem.

Also, in the age of going green, think of the fuel and energy that would be saved by running

routes only five days a week and keeping offices closed an extra day.
With the money they save, maybe they could keep a few more people working, and that would

help the economy.

But there is competition--UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.

Maybe we should allow competition to the USPS and see how much better their operation becomes. Unionized government monopolies, what a CONcept.
