Do you pay your bills on line? How often do you use snail mail?

106. I am totally with you on this.

And I NEVER conduct any transactions online, period. And I don't even use a checking acct or debit card. I make it part of my personal discipline to make my money an effort to access so that I really have to think out what I use it for. I also make a point of paying my bills with USPS money orders. We have the other package delivery companies that service the area but they can never find my place, my address doesn't register on their computers for some reason even though I personally made sure it was recorded in the last census (I was the actuary who did that in my region). I have a PO Box and it works just fine. I also make a point of sending all packages via USPS... it's a lifeline in my rural surroundings. And the only reason there are long lines is because of the way Congress has been systematically making sure that the public becomes disenchanted with the service so they can drown it in a bathtub, even though these faux Constitutional patriots disregard that it is a Constitutional mandate that there be a USPS.

Save the USPS, send a few letters and a couple packages a week for the next six months and thereafter! People love getting a card or letter in the mail, it will be like a national uplifting of spirits! We need the USPS whether all those hightech toys users get it or not.

And remember, USPS has flat rates, it costs the same for a 1oz letter to go across the street or across the continent. The USPS is just fine and the House better get over their privatizing delirium and fast because we're not going to take it anymore.
