The Postal Service- Such Great Heights

Not everyone has benefitted in the information age.
Mr. B is a patient of mine.
He came in yesterday exhasuted.  He worked 12 hours the day before.
Mr. B is a postal carrier.
"There's less mail overall but we still have to stop at every  house and every business.  They've cut the number of workers, so we have to do more routes."
The USPS has eliminated 40,000 full-time positions in the last several years. 
They predict a $7 million shortfall for 2011.
Mr. B says, "People are just not sending as much mail anymore.  They're using email."
Mr. B has 5 years until he can retire at age 62.
Until then, we'll try and keep him going.
Did I mention that the USPS is run by the government?
On the other hand, the electronic indie-pop band "The Postal Service" is doing just fine.
Their 2003 debut went platinum, and this particular song was featured in many commercials including UPS (which I find humorous), most with their permission (sorry, Apple).
It has also been covered at least 17 times.
The band's name was chosen due to the way in which they produced songs.  Electronic music guru Jimmy Tamborello AKA Dntel, wrote and performed the instrumental tracks, then sent the Digital Audio Tapes to Ben Gibbard (also lead vocalist for Death Cab For Cutie) who edited the song as he saw fit, adding his vocals in.
He then sent them back to Tamborello via the United States Postal Service.
