Wrong approach, as usual

Pauline Jelinek has an AP article about the mail:

The US Postal Service will stop delivering mail on Saturdays, but continue to deliver packages six days a week, under a plan aimed at saving about two billion dollars, the financially struggling agency says.
In an announcement scheduled for later Wednesday, the service is expected to say the Saturday mail cutback would begin in August.
The move accentuates one of the agency’s strong points: package delivery has increased by fourteen percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has declined with the increasing use of email and other Internet use.
Under the new plan, mail would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays. Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open on Saturdays. Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages, and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully appealed to Congress to approve the move. Though an independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations, but is subject to congressional control.
It was not immediately clear how the service could eliminate Saturday mail without congressional approval. But the agency clearly thinks it has a majority of the American public on its side regarding the change.
Material prepared for the press conference by Patrick R. Donahoe, postmaster general and CEO, says Postal Service market research and other research has indicated that nearly seven in ten Americans support the switch to five-day delivery as a way for the Postal Service to reduce costs.

Rico says that they should, instead, go back to the old tried-and-true system, where it's the United States Post Office, and subsidize the damn thing, rather than trying to make it work as a stand-alone corporation...
