In Response to Dan Driscoll

Will our postal services increase productivity and success when and if we peak out of this recession, or is this the beginning of the end of the Postal Service?

Personally, I would love to have Postal Service stay running on Saturdays. Saturday postal service allows that one extra day to get something delivered that you've been waiting for, instead of having to wait for the entire weekend. The internet has rapidly grown within the past 5 years, allowing consumers to purchase different products online instead of physically going to the store. If the postal service were to completely desist, how would online shoppers get their products? 
Although Saturday postal service would be ideal to keep around to many online shoppers, it does make sense to save that $2 billion annually if they stop. I think that we need to keep people working as much as possible through this recession, and Saturday shifts for delivery workers should stay existent.

Do you think that Saturday postal service is beneficial or not?
