What I don't like is the junk mail that just fills up the local land fill and gets sent for pennies. You can't tell me that USPS makes any money out of that to speak of.
Anybody have an educated reason why we can't do without Saturday delivery?

I was a rural mail carrier for over 21 years.
Actually, the USPS makes more off the junk mail than you realize. If not for that, your first class stamps would cost even more than they do now. And apparently it pays off for the business that send it, or they wouldn't be doing it. Evidently not everyone is throwing it away.
Regarding Saturday delivery, first of all I believe it's still the law. Secondly, it's a service to the customer, whether they appreciate it or not. Thirdly, from a carrier's standpoint, every day that mail is not delivered makes for double the load the following day, which only serves to put the carrier behind schedule. I used to always hate those Monday federal holidays, especially the minor ones like Columbus Day, etc. All that did was to give us twice as much mail on Tuesday!! Eliminating Saturday delivery would do the same thing. Mondays were always busy enough the way it was, without adding that into the mix!

So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
