Finally some people will have an excuse of why they couldn't pay their bills on time " the mail ran late."
According to Congress.org due to the economical cut backs that seems to be affected everyone the U.S. Postal Service is asking Congress to reset regulations regarding the mail delivery date from six days to five days a week.
The reason for the abrupt change is believed to be due to the declined revenue and the increased cost in usage of Postal Services. Of course they( U.S. Postal Service) claim during the holidays they would preside to deliver six days a week, because in a recession its more important to deliver a Christmas card, than a birthday or sympathy card.
Some may not like the idea, but truth is we are in a recession and like President Obama said "some changes have to be made." So why not the U.S. Postal Services?
After all when T-mobile disconnects my cell phone, or Edison turns off the electricity, I can blame it on the mailman " it's in the mail" or no I did not get that notice " the mail must have skipped my area that week."
In actuality, the time has come to make scarafices. But the bills still have to be paid. I don't think the U.S. Postal Serives should cut back on their delivery dates and I find it appualing that they would even suggest certain " rural areas" would recieve their mail six days aweek in contrast with others only recieving mail five days a week. Sounds like discrimination; as if one person or area recieves more important mail than the next.
If Congress decideds to grant the U.S. Postal Services thier ridiculous request, Congress should change the workforce week entirely. How does four day weekends sound? And while they're being so generous why not cut back the college graduation requirements, since most of the California State cut backs is in education?
