#2 About ten years ago while waiting in line at a local branch of the Post Office, I tried to remember the last time I hadn't had to wait in line at any Post Office I had ever visited and couldn't remember ever not waiting. I have kept rough track since and my record is still intact, I always have to wait in some line. Fast forward to Obamacare, if you think the Post Office is bad wait til you take a number in your local ER. Just remember to bleed slowly.

#3 One major difference that hampers the USPS, however, is the government mandate that says they will deliver to "every household, every day at the same cost" in the case of First Class Postage.
Try shipping "business to consumer via UPS/FedEx and see the pricing differences to ship across town, as well as to your Uncle NaNook at the edge of "Palin Country" or to your cousin down in the Bayuo.

#5 Slightly off subject, while I've never seen Bicycles like that, it would fix a huge problem High-wheelers had, if you hit a small bump you went over on your face, with front stabilizers that won't happen
