Prompt #10 Mail

I don't think they should stop delivering mail on Saturdays. The article mentioned that many people pay their bills online, however, there are also many people who don't. The elderly is the majority of people who still don't know how to use a computer and decide not to learn. For people who get paid on Fridays and have a bill due on Saturday have a chance of getting it there on time. If they were to stop delivering on Saturdays then it wouldn't get there any earlier than Monday. I think people have enough hassle not receiving mail on Sundays that Saturdays would create a problem.

They also had a point in the article that many people order things online and if it couldn't be delivered on Saturdays that wouldn't be good for business (especially around the holidays). Different businesses run different days and times of the week. I believe in order to accommodate as many as possible, whether it be sending bills, ads, packages, etc., I think mail should be stopped only one day a week like it is.
