20 Years and Gone

posted by like_that

With amazon announcing they are getting into the delivery game, I say the USPS will be gone in 20 years.

I don't think so.  Usps has the market on letters, bills, etc and do it very cheaply....

Last but not least, they have a legal monopoly on some types of delivered materials. Remove that and they're out of business by Tuesday.

All they deliver is garbage.  Nothing they deliver needs to be delivered.

I'd say 90-95% of our mail is junk.

Yep, everything I need/should get I have delivered electronically.  About all I get regular mail is advertisments, 95% of which goes straight in the trash.

They are delivering packages now, and I believe small packages are probably cheaper than Fedex or UPS....but that's because the taxpayer is subsidizing it!

Can you imagine if they let us opt out of junk mail?  USPS would be out of business.  Heck, when I opted out of credit offers I bet my mail dropped by about a third.

Gubmit would be REALLY good at charging us a lot of money to do nothing and fail trying.

Yea pretty easy after babies r us. Amazon and Walmart are going to murder companies like that. There is just no way to make margins with all of that overhead and having to keep prices in line with them. 

If 75% of your stuff can be found online, odds are you’ll be dieing soon, unless it’s clothing items where people need to try it on.

Going to Toys R Us as a kid was total sensory overload.  Shame kids today won't get that same experience.  Speaking of which, Saturady morning cartoons disappeared years ago.
