Buried in an article about the proposed PO cutbacks, I saw this:
Postal cutbacks to delay 1st-class mail - BusinessWeek
So, as an uninteded consequence, could magazines like Time, Newsweek, and other weeklies go under? They are already on the ropes, this could be the knockout punch. I mean, who wants a news magazine nine days + after the events have occured?
First-class mail is supposed to arrive at U.S. homes and businesses in one to three days; about 42 percent of it arrives in one day. The cutbacks will back up deliveries to two to three days; periodicals could take up to nine days.
