Postal Problems: Shaun Hautly

I don't think I'd notice if Saturday deliveries stopped. With email having taken over much of the world of communication (and the rest is texting and Facebook), the post office can take an extra day off. FedEx and UPS do. Or you have to pay extra. That seems fair. People shouldn't be upset about the struggles of the economy affecting the postal service.

I don't know why people get upset about paying less than a dollar for a stamp. The fact of the matter is this. For $0.42, someone will come to your house, pick up a letter, and take it around the country. They'll also bring you tons of things for free. Sometime you have to go to the post office to mail something, but more and more those services are being offered online. Close a few, save a couple bucks. Every other company is doing the same.

Every other company is also raising their rates as well. Grocery stores no longer have the 5 cent barrel of crackers, and the post office should feel bad about raising their prices either. Try to send a letter by courier, try to send it across the country, tell me how much it costs and I bet the post office will still be the lowest bidder.
