Come next year, we may stop receiving mail on Saturdays. According to this AP story, the Postmaster General wants to end the requirement for postal officials to deliver mail 6 days a week. Inevitably, Saturday would get cut. They are poor because to email and those ridiculously priced stamps.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Postmaster General John Potter says the massive deficits facing the post office could force the agency to cut out one day of mail delivery per week.
In testimony for a congressional panel Wednesday, Potter asked for an end to the requirement that the agency deliver mail six days a week.
Faced with dwindling mail volume and rising costs, the post office was $2.8 billion in the red last year.
