CMV: Rural areas should not get mail on Wednesdays

Awhile back Rand Paul caught a lot of flack for saying rural areas should only get mail every other day. His idea was it would provide a big cost savings to the USPS for a small reduction in service since rural areas don't have as many people and the mailboxes are far apart and few in between.

The rebuttal was fuck you Rand Paul and also quit trying to hurt rural people. 

But he had a point. It costs us more to deliver mail to rural areas due to the distances between boxes and low density of letters delivered to them. Far more efficient to send mail to cities and suburbs. But yeah every other day is annoying af.

So how about Wednesdays? Just get rid of Wednesdays. Then your farm or mountain holdfast still gets mail M T R F Sa. How often are you really going to say *Welp my life is ruined now.  If only I got this letter from my Aunt on Wednesday instead of Thursday.* 

Also we're trying to fight global warming right? So why not keep those mail cars off the mile long dirt roads one extra day a week?

The USPS cost savings plus the atmospheric CO2 savings are well worth the minuscule annoyance. Also I am sure Rand Paul will present other opportunities to say fuck you Rand Paul. So cut rural mail service on Wednesdays.

We live in the wealthiest country on the planet. Mail delivery to rural areas has been achieved for over a century. It isn't mail that is bankrupting the country, it's endless wars, and failure to collect taxes that is bankrupting. You could get rid of the US postal service completely and you would be in the same mess as when you started. Because it ain't the USPS.    It's the constant bending of the knee to the corporations and billionaires.

Edit: also, you may cut mail delivery on Weds. But that is just going to to force people that would otherwise recieve their mail to drive to the post office. Completely negating any projected carbon emissions reductions.
