I wish we could just phase out the USPS altogether and make better use of email. Get the big providers on board with some sort of signed delivery and receipt confirmation system, with an optional tie in login.gov identity verification for official matters.
The only mail I've gotten in the last 20 years is spam and receipts from old school companies they refuse to go paperless (usually some form of insurance).
It's such an antiquated, annoying system, and I wish it didn't exist so that agencies and businesses would be forced to use a more modern alternative.
- naveen99 2y agoHow about make it a publicly traded corporation, like the soviets did during privatization. but require it to stay public, until some other corporation is doing a better job and gets declared the usps, and then make that one stay public…
- Spunkie 2y agoAs someone who deals in both the administration of email servers and lives in a country where the postal service was privatized and later shuttered, I can't imagine a more hellish suggestion than this. The amount of privilege it takes to describe the USPS as an "antiquated annoyance" is incomprehensible. USPS is a literal gift from the gods as far as I'm concerned.
