OK - for most here that is not an issue. For me and a few others, it is.
But whether it affects you or not for business, we all are affected personally.
I cannot see that on the USPS website or in my search results.
How did you find out?

The only articles I can find on it are from 2013 when they announced it and got “negative feedback:”.
The plan never went beyond the announcement

That was my first thought when I read the title of this thread.

Those articles are from February of 2013 at the height of the USPS is deep in debt scare created by the 2006 law that required USPS to pre-fund retirement for 75 years within 10 years (so by 2016).
Since then, USPS has added package delivery to some areas on Sundays (and some additional areas get this during the holidays).
There are no current talks by congress or USPS to eliminate Saturday first class mail delivery.

Gonna tiptoe with care here, and focus on practical matters like this one, but this cannot be stated without using terms that seem “political”.
Given the service cutbacks and raised prices, I do not understand why DeJoy is still employed. Appointees of the current administration are now the majority on the board that can hire and fire the Postmaster General at their will.
But if congress simply stopped forcing the the Post Office to “prefund” their pension and benefit liabilities, the Post Office would be in fine financial shape, and this is the fault of BOTH sides of BOTH the house and the senate.
