2. Why doesn't the post office cut back its delivery schedule?
Some have suggested 5 days a week, or even deliver every other day. 1/2 the people get mail MWF, the other half gets the mail Tu,Th, Sat.

If implemented, there is no need to fire anybody, just don't replace people as they quit/retire.

The fact is, email and other technology is here to stay, and I don't think mail delivery 6 days a week is necessary.
