  - If USPS wants to continue their volume they should focus on Amazon.  dkf   Nov-12-11 02:06 PM   #4 
  - Who says they're not trying? Congress imposed the deficit. USPS didn't. nt  valerief   Nov-12-11 02:09 PM   #7

  - I'd be fine with that too  Yupster   Nov-12-11 03:26 PM   #15 
  - Aren't postal cars electric? They could be if not. Banning SUVs might be a better solution  valerief   Nov-12-11 03:43 PM   #18 
  - Let's do it all  Yupster   Nov-12-11 04:00 PM   #23

  - Would that be effective, do you think?  dixiegrrrrl   Nov-12-11 04:36 PM   #29 
     - Yes. Shutting down the postal service is easy and effective.  Tierra_y_Libertad   Nov-12-11 05:07 PM   #33 
  - Exactly who will be devastated not to have their mailbox stuffed with junk on Saturdays?  Nye Bevan   Nov-12-11 03:36 PM   #16
