Bye Saturday Snail Mail

The U.S. Postal Service plans to propose today an adjusted mail schedule that will cut Saturday delivery.  Debt is high and mail volume is down.  The USPS predicts that this trend will continue and is searching for ways to cut back their losses.
I think that the stopping of Saturday deliveries won't affect most people.  The only mail I get is Netflix movies and my granny's greeting cards.  I pay my bills online and only my electricity company and gas company still send me monthly statements.  Even my parents and grandparents who used to pay all their bills through the mail now pay them automatically through their online bank account.  And no more are my friends and relatives sending me their thoughts and communication through snail mail that could take a week, now it's all through email that takes a few seconds.  The USPS is increasingly becoming a shipper of packages and not of letters. Perhaps the USPS should think about expanding to provide internet access or email servers– after all this is the new mail.
