The Postmaster General of the United States has warned Congress that mail service may have to cut to five days per week because of a looming $6B loss this year. USPS studies have shown that only 19% of Americans check their mailboxes daily, so they contend, "Why bother delivering the crap every day?" An AP/IPS/CNN/MSNBC/NFL/EIEIO poll taken Jan 4-7 asked 1505 Americans for their feelings on cutting mail delivery to five days, from the current six. An overwhelming 86% said that they didn't care, 10% cared deeply and 3% had no preference. The remaining one percent don't own mailboxes and don't think that they get mail anyway. The Postmaster also asked for a program tied to the proposed stimulus package that would provide a tax credit of $100 for anyone agreeing to send letters to ten friends, asking them to send one to ten of their friends and so on. "This could be big, really big", said the Postal Service chief. "Sounds like a damn chain letter to me", offered Representative Ogden Smith R-OH. The committee agreed to refer this proposal to staff for further study. Among other proposals was one to outlaw "the email", which postal officials have identified as the root of the problem. In the absence of a total ban, postal authorities have asked that emailers be required to buy e-stamps. Details on how that would work are sketchy, although strong opposition is expected from the "penis enhancement" lobby. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true.
