In case you hadn’t noticed, the Internet has become quite the thing. Considering the ease of e-mail and text-messaging, those paper love letters and corny cards have come to seem obsolete. The Postal Service has been in a bad way for a while; so much so that now the government has considered closing 677 offices.
“The writing is on the wall, and the postal service obviously has to make some tough decisions if it wants to weather this storm,” Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) said during a hearing.
Some Postal and Congressional sources say that only 200 out of the possible 677 offices will be likely to close after a close review, but either way, this will mean massive layoffs.
