Re: Post Office Law Suit to Repeal Carry Rule
$440 worth of stamps? Thats 1000 letters. 
I don't expect to mail that many letters in the rest of my life. And probably my kids life, too.
What 'ya gonna do when the PO goes out of business... Paper your walls with them?

Re: Post Office Law Suit to Repeal Carry Rule
Nonsense. They said the same things when moving from horse drawn buggies to the automobile. (People won't be able to afford all that gasoline, and oats are cheap!) It's time to get rid of the "Pony Express", and move into the 21st century -- or at least the 20th. Will there be problems? Yes, but they'er handleable. Not an attack, but your handle is very appropriate.OldSchool wrote:Not inexpensive for everyone, sorry, no. And plastic is the devil that got us into this mess. Also, remember where the the computers are made, and whose currency is currently leading in the race to the bottom.sjfcontrol wrote:4th class mail WILL disappear if the sender needs to pay UPS rates to send it! we are paying the telcos for universal service, and low- end computers are quite inexpensive- and decreasing in price.
The telcos are not giving their bandwidth away for free. Actually, tiered pricing is already being implemented as we type, and its purpose is not to decrease pricing. Note that Netflix is already seeing the light -- of the train coming down the track toward them; they are finally being billed for their formerly "free" bandwidth.
Many people are hurting, bad, and the number is increasing by the week, and it will not get better in the near future. We must not cavalierly remove a staple of life from those who are not well off, and 1st class mail is still a staple for most of us.
As for 4th class mail, the advertisers will simply cut the same deals with UPS that they cut with USPS. They're here to stay.
ETA: Good grief, I forgot one of the biggest problems! Remember privacy? There is no such thing with the Internet. No matter what kind of security (and what fraction of folks send secure email -- not even most agencies of the government), everything sent by Internet is subject to interception due to the number of hops between sender and receiver. Nothing private must ever be sent by email. Good luck with that PSK....

Re: Post Office Law Suit to Repeal Carry Rule
Man! You're really overthinking it. Now that email is good for almost everything, the USPS delivers almost nothing but junk mail. Just kill the USPS and let private industry deliver whatever's left. No more junk. And the extra cost of what's left is motivation to deliver everything possible electronically.

Re: Post Office Law Suit to Repeal Carry Rule
As I recall, nobody can handle "first class mail" except the USPS. UPS and Fedex handle "packages".
If the "slot" says "U.S. Mail" on it, its a mailbox -- and can only be used by USPS.

Re: Post Office Law Suit to Repeal Carry Rule
Umm, I would contend that email is "written" communications, and doesn't cost anywhere near $0.43 to/from anywhere in the world with internet access.
Apparently, you are referring to "printed" or "hardcopy" communications.
So email your communications, and have them print it at the destination, if required.

Re: Post Office Law Suit to Repeal Carry Rule
I wonder if the lawsuit will outlast the USPS? They have been of questionable usefulness for some time. NOBODY mails letters anymore. Few people receive or pay bills by mail. It's just a way to deliver junk you don't want anyway.
