The struggling U.S. agency loses $25 million a day, according to Donahoe. Last November the agency reported it lost $15.9 billion for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 20, more than triple its loss from the previous year. The U.S. Post Office has also reached its $15 billion borrowing limit with the Treasury.
The proliferation of online banking and email has made the U.S. Post Office less relevant in today's digital age. U.S. mail volume totaled 159.9 million pieces last year, a 5% decline from 2011.
My Views/Comments: That is fine with me, one less trip to the mailbox, only bills or advertisement, as it is.
Go Paper-Less, bills come to your Inbox
As for Friends & Family...E-mail, Phone/Teleconference, Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) use Skype, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. Shop Online, ship directly to who the gift is for, or your own home/work, never have to leave your home...no driving, no trying to find a place to park, no lines, and you save on fuel, wear & tear of your vehicle, less chance of being in an accident, insurance might go down, same of fuel cost, less demand.
The Government can stand to save money too, all the way to the Top. Send Unmanned Drones, not Manned Sortie flights of F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, F-35, B-1, B-2, F-117's
p.s. stop sending Junk Mail, what a waste of paper
