USPS ending Saturday delivery for mail (except packages) in August. - TWuG Feb 6, 05:22 25
- [deleted]
- was atleast 15 years last i got aome mail from the post service on a saturday -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 6, 05:39
- The move will save 2B. USPS lost 15.9B last year. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 05:30 17
  - mostly because the federal government is making them pre-fund health benefits for the next 75 years. -- nm - mafic Feb 6, 05:41
  - Until they stop having to get Congress' permission for every change in postage and pay rates - TWuG Feb 6, 05:35
  - Move to M-W-F delivery in urban areas and T-T in rural. That should do it easy - Beaker Feb 6, 05:34 13
    - Except they'd lose all their business -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 05:42 12
      - who else is going to deliver mail every day? packages sure, but letter delivery no one -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 05:42 11
        
        Letters are dead. Packages are the one area USPS has seen some success and a glimmer of hope. - ty97 Feb 6, 05:44 8
        
        Of the two things, though, letter delivery is the more important. And its importance is waning. - TWuG Feb 6, 05:49 7
        
        What makes letters more important? -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 05:55 6
        
        There isn't a competing service and I see value in being able to send a letter anywhere in the US for less than $0.50. - TWuG Feb 6, 06:01 5
        
        That's the problem. You can't send a letter for 50 cents. The business model doesn't work. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 06:13 4
        
        seems to work for Canada Post, and there's no way CP has an easier delivery task. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 06:32 2
        
        I don't know how Canada does it, but it clearly is not sustainable in the US (see: 15.9 billion loss) -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 06:36 1
        
        see mafic's post above. it's the biggest chunk of it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 06:38
        
        I don't think the issue is with getting a letter from A to B for $0.50 - TWuG Feb 6, 06:21
        
        UPS or FedEx would. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 6, 05:43 1
        
        exactly. if someone needs a letter from grandma that bad they can pay $15. If they want to spend a $1 they get delivery 2-3 times a week -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 05:44
  - *does math* Delivery only on Monday then. That should just about...crap - oblique [220] Feb 6, 05:32
- would you say it's time to panic? -- nm - mafic Feb 6, 05:28 2
  - Reagen can call me Chicken Little all he wants, but I'm irate. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Feb 6, 06:39

Watched the first two eps of House of Cards last night. Pretty good. What does everyone else think? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 6, 04:57 3
- I'm through 2 episodes as well. Liked the second episode better than the first. - TFox Feb 6, 06:31
- I've only seen the original and it's sequel, but it was great. I can see how it would suit a US version. -- nm - LMS Feb 6, 05:11
- The first episode was good but I dislike everyone in it. -- nm - Mop on Chrome on iPad Feb 6, 05:00
