Subscribed, but how to use Global Giving Credit?
- and said:
CptanPanic,Hi, it’s Ben Davis, here at GOOD. The GlobalGiving subscription credit should have been sent to you in an email confirmation with the subject line “Thanks. Now choose your cause and do some GOOD.” We have found a few instances where confirmations have not gone out. Please check your spam mail folder, and if you still didn’t receive it, email me your name and address and I’ll personally take care of it for you. I can be reached at bdavis@goodinc. Thanks for supporting GOOD!

Mail Fail: Time to Overhaul the USPS?
- and said:
The problem with the USPS is what makes it so valuable to US citizens- the guarantee of universal delivery service. Meaning that just about anywhere you decide to live in the US (about 150 million addresses), you can have mail delivered to you. I agree with Morgan that Saturday delivery could easily be cut. But what about a more radical idea (not mine by the way): continue universal service, but only to a certain point, like your nearest post office. Then charge a premium for the most expensive piece of the delivery process- the last mile which is done by hand by thousands of employees and their trucks. This would allow the USPS to cut much of their staff and their costs, or at least charge for the luxury that is universal service.
