Anyone have a view on the Post Office / Mail situation here in the states? Commenting to a friend's post, this was my gripe.

"It's a lost cause, it's sad because my uncle and other ppl i know work for the post office but the service is no longer really needed. Sure for packages and certain things it is, but a much smaller percentage than once was. Companies as well as the USPS have to adapt and that means cutting staff when there isn't enough work for everyone. That's what should be done. Not decrease services or charging more. They need to cut staff and perhaps locations, period."

My response to a Slacker article at: http://ow.ly/11S2w

I encourage everyone to give it a try. It's almost perfect to begin and with your hearts and hates it can only get better! Slacker.com - I received no payment, this is just my honest opinion.

"I love the slacker service. I have been a PLUS subscriber ever since Nov 2008 when I needed to find a replacement for lowering quality Satellite Radio. It's great, I've used the online version at home and out at friends' houses. I've used their G2 device in my car and I use the iPhone app endlessly. They are adding news soon and caching from what I hear and I can't wait for that. My preloaded and my personally created channels are just about perfect. I don't even need skips anymore but I have unlimited skips. They really know what they're doing when it comes to the service. If I had one gripe, it's that they haven't upgraded their Chinese music selection in over a year. Yes, they are multicultural too. Bollywood fans will get their fix as well. Try it, I think you'll like it. "
