What, exactly, is your point? Are you actually using anecdotal evidence to try to state generally that people don't need the mail? I certainly hope not, because I thought the level of discourse was at least a little bit higher here than that kind of absurdity. If not, it seems like you're just telling a story with no real purpose.
- MetaCosm 14y agoMore than half of all physical mail is junk mail(1). This is the equivalent of your email service provider selling access to your mailbox, and delivering the spam directly to your box (guaranteeing delivery). As I moved my bills online, and I communicate with family via dozens of online means, the usefulness of USPS has dropped to ZERO for me, it is just a physical spam location for me. Not claiming that applies to all people, but in my case it is true.
