[kictanet] US Posta Approaching Bankruptcy

[robert yawe]

Hi,

Seems its not only Posta that has its hands tied by bad policy and selfish interests, it is my prayer that I can become PMG before the organisation goes belly up as I would hate to be appointed the task of pathologist and/or undertaker of the corporation.

Regards
 
The struggle continues to PMG

Another one nearly bites the dust - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/05/business/in-internet-age-postal-service-struggles-to-stay-solvent-and-relevant.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1

Its inability to turn around includes unionised employees with expensive health care, laws that do not allow them to trade in some areas like selling cellphones and insurance. They are considering distributing wine and beer (!), advertising on their premises and vehicles and doing last-mile deliveries for UPS/Fedex.

One politician argues that a great institution that survived the entry of the telegraph and the telephone should survive the digital era as well.
