I don't think cutting mail service to 2 days a week would disconnect 'country folks.' Anything time sensitive could use email, fax, or (more expensive) private delivery services.

Plus, it's managed horrifically. What sort of real company would have a union contract that categorically prohibits layoffs and mandates rich pensions for basically unskilled workers?

I live in a semi-rural area and honestly, I'd rather pick up my mail at the post office. Our carrier delivers letters to the wrong houses at least once a week. I really don't know how much of my mail I never get, I only assume that other neighbors do as I do and redeliver the mail correctly.
