All I ever get are bills and junk mail. If we had a "do not mail" list for junk mail they could deliver it all working one day a week. I wonder how much it costs us every year to process/deliver mail (junk mail) no one wants. Every day I go from the mail box stright to the recycle can, it's a waste.
You can but I wouldn't recommend it.Likewise. Jt is a pity we cannot do that with the bills!
That's a good point. Most of my important stuff is paperless. I don't trust the USPS enough to handle important mail and documents. 95% of what I pull out of the mailbox goes straight into the trash. I only look out for packages of stuff I've bought online. We need to get away from this archaic system of paper, letters, stamps and checks. We are behind the times. We need to get more into electronic payments and digital correspondence. Cut out the unnecessary garbage. Raise the prices of stamps to give people the incentive to stop with the paper.All I ever get are bills and junk mail.

That's why I said it's unsustainable, the whole organization. Only a government service can operate with billions in losses year after year. But what will happen to these losses? The effects of that massive deficit will be felt soon or later. You can't just sweep these losses under the government rug. It's gonna catch up eventually. Maybe the answer is charging a few bucks to mail a letter, because we all know that's what UPS or FedEx would charge. Yeah it's nice to only pay 40 cents to mail a letter but that's not realistic with today's costs of employing thousands of people.Go ahead and privatize, see how much Fedex or UPS will charge to deliver that letter.
