The head of the United States Postal Service has approched leaders in Washington D.C., hat in hand, to ask them to recind the federal mandate that requires postal delivery 6 days a week.
The U.S.P.S. now wants to eliminate Tuesday deliveries, with Saturdays being the second choice, as they say Tuesdays are typically the lightest mail delivery days.
Not sure how wise it is, to delete mail service on a weekday, in the middle of a recession. I mean, most offices aren't open on Saturdays, and people expecting tax refund, unemployment, social security disability and pensions checks--people who more often than ever, desperately need those checks, would then be forced to wait an extra day. To the naive and utterly ignorant, this may seem like no big deal. But to someone who might quite literally have no food in their kitchen, or needs money for transport to a doctor, job, etc, or, needs the funds for needed medicines...that one day can seem like a lifetime. And anyone who thinks not, is a complete fool....like the head of the U.S. Postal Service, apparently.
Who cares about Saturday deliveries? There's not much one can do business-wise on a weekend (all US Govt. Social Security disability and pensions checks, some some private pension checks, are only delivered on weekdays)...I mean, all I usually get on Saturdays, if anything, are bills or junk mail anyway--surely things that can wait for Monday delivery?
that really aren't in keeping with the series at all...or just plain badly written. Not all, there's some fantastic fan-fic out there, yes. I've had the pleasure to read it...unfortunately, I often have to wade through reams of dross to get to the real gems.
