The Post Office...

So if you haven't heard the USPS is running out of money.
If nothing is done they will go broke, and have to shut down. This could be within five years.
This would mean no more postcards, thank you letters, or anything like that. It would cost $10 flat to FedEx it...And jail will have to start letting people call whoever they want, instead of having a calling list of like 3 people that you have to choose. It would just be cruel and unusual punishment, to not let you write family.

I've got an idea though.
Public Transportation should be going out of business too, because to many people use cars. But they have people paying them for ADVERTISING.
Public buses, or light rails have ads inside, outside, and at the stations.

The post office needs to "Sell Out".
Companies need to start paying to have their logos on stamps, or envelopes. On postal cars, public mailboxes, and the post office itself.

If they advertise for people, they can survive. And companies can advertise like that, instead of sending you so much shitty mail everyday.
Unless congress bails them out...That's another option...

they are already broke and out of money. Without the government they would be finished. Much like the car industry in Detroit and the airlines that got bailed out so will the USPS. Let them all go out of business, who sends letters anyways? I get nothing but crap in the mail everyday, fuck em. Car industry as well, fuck em, make something people want and stop with the unions.

But thats me, a business person that can smell a bad business model a mile away.

It can't just be left to die though.

When I go to jail, I want to be able to send letters for less than $10 a piece.

And there is no other way to get something across the country for the cost of a couple stamps.

Not just jail though.
Research chemicals can be sent across the country for the cost of a few dimes right now, and tons of other things that aren't even drug related.
That would all be done without the post office.
You NEVER put ANYTHING in your mailbox...? EVER?

I'm 19 and I mail things...

Thats not a bad idea. It seems almost unamerican that the post office is going down but they're an old business in a new world. I mean shit blockbuster got taken out by a redbox.

who am i gonna get my seeds from? jk the us postal service is a vital system necessary to the modern world fedex and ups are stealing consumers but oferring lower prices and ect when they should not be allowed to compete with the postal system, they should offer thier services as a contractor for usps and there only be one postal company considering it is a public service. now private couriers and large shipments are the business fedex and ups should be in.
