Comments on: Maybe When Service Drops to One Day a Week, We Can Eliminate Its Monopoly Protection? http://www.showmedaily.org/2010/03/maybe-when-service-drops.html Advancing liberty with responsibility by promoting market solutions for Missouri public policy Thu, 24 May 2012 12:24:42 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Papillon http://www.showmedaily.org/2010/03/maybe-when-service-drops.html/comment-page-1#comment-5547 Papillon Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:02:06 +0000 http://www.showmedaily.org/?p=14937#comment-5547 Let's not forget the difficulty of closing post offices. Those in the stl area may remember a hub bub about six? months ago over closing about a dozen? post offices. There was an uproar and there were no closings. To those who are afraid that the government will ration health care, please take solace in the fact that the gov doesn't even have the backbone to ration post offices/mail service, so everything under the sun will be available to you, regardless of cost. I hope not, but maybe. Let’s not forget the difficulty of closing post offices. Those in the stl area may remember a hub bub about six? months ago over closing about a dozen? post offices.

Lewis. It was constantly harassing him for his business practices, which involved taking advantage of rural free delivery to send subscription magazines to rural households. As I understand it, the free rural delivery program was not supposed to be for commercial interests at the time. Truth be told, the Post Office probably had a better case against Mr. Lewis than against Mr. Spooner. The Post Office was also an enemy of the founder of University City, E.G. Lewis.
