I really don't care. Do you?

I read a Letter To The Editor today that contained the following; " America wants a strong USPS. After tornadoes and earthquakes, phones fail, electricity ends, the Internet is interrupted, but the mail will still go through."



Personally, I don't agree that America on the whole WANTS a strong USPS. We clearly want to be able to communicate effectively and quickly, and there are alternatives that work as well or better than the USPS.



Yes, the alternatives can be interrupted. So can (does) the USPS. The old belief that "the mail must go through" is passe' and patently untrue. Based on decades of real experience, I am confident the alternate systems can still be effective - even in times of disaster.



But, what about all the EMPLOYEES of the USPS who will lose their jobs? The alternative systems will need employees when they fill the hole left when USPS goes out of business. The good workers will find jobs. The bad ones may not. But we already have systems in place to support people who can't or won't work. Yes, there may be problems. Nobody, however, is guaranteed anything, let alone a job.
