The post office is an indpendently run entity that does not operate on tax payer money. What you are hearing in the news is the bailout of their pensions by the government. So, the closing of these offices and stopping of Saturday mail would be the inependent decision of the organization. If you aren’t buying stamps or sending post, you are not supporting the post office, hence the need to reduce offices. The way it works on the economy at large is the laying off of postal persons and their requirement of unemployment.

They also need to eliminate their trip to MAILCOM every year. I used to do trade shows for a company, and this was one of the postal service’s big event every year. They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to send representatives to the show and have big parties. What a waste!

Why is it the post offices job to save the economy? closing 250 offices you think would save no money, you must be 1 of them union workers, the jig is up, I know numerous people who work for the post office they are some of the most unreliable people I know. Mail could operate 3 days a week it’s almost completely obsolete, what news could you get 1 day that wouldnt be as vauable the next day, if a family member needs help you call them.
