Goodbye Saturday Mail Service
Article I, section 8 of the Constitution provides for the establishment of a postal routes. With Congress requiring the Postal Service to pre-fund their retirement plan for the next 75 years, something not asked of any other governmental agency, the Postal Service finds itself billions of dollars in the red.
Understand, this is an example of even how the Constitution can't stop the privatizing of government services. With Saturday mail service gone, except for packages, who will deliver essential pieces of mail on those days. Wait for it----
FEDEX and UPS.
The one 1 percent delivering mail to the 99 percent at 1 percent rates.
Blood sucking leeches. Maybe that should be the symbol of private mail carriers on Saturdays.
