U.S. Postal Service loses $2 billion in second quarter

Got to love the following quote.

"Given the positive mail trends, it would be irresponsible to degrade services to Americans and their businesses, which would drive away mail - and revenue - and stop the postal turnaround in its tracks," Fredric Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, said in a statement.

Good one from an obviously unbiased group.
I remember the USPS saying they could save money by shutting down some underused rural post offices...
But Congress wouldn't let them...
We seem to be on the threshold of a non revolution;
When the Soviet Union [great evil empire] went down rather quietly in 1990 the bureacrats simply quit answering the phones....
I think this sort of default has started to happen here; think Detroit

 

Just like every other gov't run entity.
