The United States Postal Service announced its decision to end Saturday's delivery of regular mail today and as someone who waits for her mail almost every day, it makes me anxious. I started hearing about the troubles of the USPS last year and I was hopeful that no dramatic changes would be made. I was hopeful that the rise of the price of the stamp and my local post office's constant busyness would provide stability for the USPS.
However, USPS CEO Patrick R. Donahoe said, "since 2008, we've seen a steady $2 billion decline in the use of 1st class mail." He also stated that more residents are using online bill pay, but I counter that not all creditors accept checks and online bill pay. In fact, some of them have very strict payment methods. For example, I have to mail a postal money order to pay for services that I received during an emergency room visit. The provider's specific request shows that they believe that the USPS is trustworthy.
The change is expected in August and while it does not affect the delivery of packages, it is expected to save the agency $2 billion. It also comes after the agency used up a $15 billion line of credit from the U.S. Treasury. But, I do not think that FedEx can replace the post office due to the inexpensiveness of the stamp. I also do not think more people will stop using regualr mail unless the letter or package is timely.

She is currently unemployed because a jealous, illiterate Haitian witch named Jeaccinette Philogene has been doing witchcraft to monitor her so she can do witchcraft on every job that she applies to so they do not hire her. Jeaccinette did witchcraft to get the password to her blog and gave someone and Guylene and Luna, who did witchcraft on her, the password to her blog so they could add things, change what she wrote so words are misspelled and it does not make sense and so people do not know the truth about the witchcraft that she did because she is stupid. Sandra Remilien does not like Haitians because they do witchcraft. Jeaccinette is doing witchcraft to make people say Sandra Remilien is Haitian and was born in Haiti so she can do witchcraft to make Sandra Remilien uplift Haitians.
