Losing saturday delivery will cost the USPS thousands of jobs. It is also the first step to allowing the USPS to deliver 3 days a week and UPS or Fedex to deliver the other days. The plan is to privatize the post office. Do you think after they gut the post office for private capitol that people in Rural America will still see a letter carrier or postage that is less than $5???
