The US Postal Service is in trouble?

Two shocking headlines in the news this week: First, that the USPS was in fear of default, and second that we still have a US Post Office… I know you’re thinking that the Post Office is only good for delivering unwanted Lillian Vernon catalogs to housewives, and very much wanted Victoria’s Secret catalogs to their husbands, but once upon a time – children, people used to painstakingly copy out their emails on paper with a pen, and paid someone to deliver them four or five days in the future.  We also had just three TV channels, we churned our own butter, and we used our phone for talking.
