21. They tried and failed
It hurt service, boosted overtime and backlogged mail for the always heavy Monday delivery, was unpopular with people who want weekend service. Still it was an idea much less impractical than almost ALL current touted options. They are making gargantuan errors is blanket changes that will make the situation worse on a scale they will never have the slightest ability to comprehend. The workers come in and try to move mountains. Supervisors stagger around the increasing size and impossibilities. Upper management looks to sell us all out or get a big bail out from the government, probably both.

Since the bastards would never ask before they took a maniacal ax to the service, Obama could save many decent jobs and the service by taking care of the shortfalls now. These idiots certainly won't do anything that will work and the next shortfall by next year will be in the billions with no practical or impractical solution at all.
