It's The End of The Post Office As We Know It

So unless action is taken ASAP, the US Postal Service will default by the end of the month
What will happen if the USPS defaults, you ask? They won't be able to borrow money, they'll only have enough money to cover operations for a week or two, at most, which would basically mean that the entire organization would shut down by January. And many more jobs will be lost, increasing the unemployment rate.
As if the US hasn't had enough to deal with, freak weather, the government almost defaulting, an outrageous unemployment rate, and our economy being inconsistent at best, now we have to deal with our main mailing service on the brink of bankruptcy and shutting down. What a year.

Couple that with the Triad constantly bombarding us with their hurricane machine, and there's no fucking hope to rebuild until we submit to Chinese will.

We've had temporary solutions
But everytime we temporarily solve one, five more appear in its place
At this point, it's not if but when China overtakes us

The BP oil spill, raging wildfires, hurricane Irene, Michelle Bachmann, and now the post office. Another sad face
Plus the banks bailout, the government almost defaulting, and the economy being inconsistent at best

Although to be fair, as soon as I saw that my thoughts were, "Dammit, ship my stuff with a good tracking service."
USPS has good tracking, Amazon just doesn't use it.
OH SHIT MY AMAZON ORDERS
THAT'S ANOTHER THING THIS COULD FUCK UP

I see 6 days a week mail service going away. I see many branches and overlapping post offices going away. I see a lot of the retirement and benefits going away or being reduced. They will be trimmed and taken down to a lean management system like pretty much any business or corporation in the last 10 to 20 years.
