Some of it is their fault and some is due to the regulations that limit what they can do. How I would love to get a bundle of New year's cards with a note from the postal service though.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540266278914019686.post-57137272190097527792012-01-10T20:23:51.949-08:002012-01-10T20:23:51.949-08:00I can't believe the lovely words expressed by ...I can't believe the lovely words expressed by your postal service, not to mention the way it is delivered. I love that photo card Debbie. Gives us a glimpse into life there. I don't think the USPS is going anywhere either, but cutting out Saturday delivery may be in order. Nothing better than getting a missive by snail mail.

I think the JPS may not go away or fail because the Japanese people have a strong sense of community and identity. The JPS also does not have to deal with a labor union and a budget, the bulk of which goes to pay for the pension and benefits of the postal worker. I know a lot of friends who work for the postal service and they hold on to their jobs for life because they know that they will have a nice pension. We also inane have laws in the US pushed by the unions, that prevent the USPS from being efficient and competitive.<br /><br />The JPS postcard is a beautiful sentiment. A nice gesture towards the people. Shows a lot of pride.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.com
