Bad News for the Postal Service

There are some pretty serious rumors flying around about the USPS considering moving to a 5 day work week. I feel a bit bad that I'm constantly ragging on the postal service lately, but they just aren't able to keep up now that most documents can be sent anywhere in the world at the click of a button for free.

What does this mean for America? If you are still among the laggards (that's marketing speak, you know) on the ebill train, then you had better plan accordingly when you send your paper checks. If they do cut out Saturdays, then there will be just that much more mail to process during the week. So it might actually take longer than expected, it may take 2 extra days for your letters to arrive... or maybe it won't. Personally, I don't care to find out.
