Default Internet & USPS

Internet was always the bête noir of the USPS because the usage of e-mail
reduced very significantly the mailing of letters.

I learned with satisfaction that: "Helped by a surge of Christmas parcels,
the United States Postal Service reported an operating profit of $1.3
billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, which ended Dec. 31, 2015."


The USPS would be doing much better if the politicians had not
-=required=- 100% PRE-FUNDING of all retirement possibilities and
other 'fees'.

I can not find out where the funds are going, perhaps it's as with
Social Security payments, into some 'general fund' to balance the US
laughable 'Budget'.

Meanwhile, other than package services, FIRST CLASS mail is being
downgraded. You get to pay for service, but it's becoming slower and
slower - it it even arrives!

A typical piece of mail from San Fancisco to Seattle now takes FIVE
DAYS! Sometimes it comes with a 'detour' to Long Island, NY !!!
