How about reducing costs by taxing the absolute living fuc1< bulk mail distribution (rather than offering discounted bulk mail rates
)?
95% of what is delivered to my mailbox is unwanted and unsolicited advertisements and crap that goes directly in the trash. For instance, I get an "Invitation" to become an American Express member....Daily. Multiply that by at least 5 other freeloading advertisers for all the other various nonsense, the twice weekly Ad-Flyer (don't even know what it is called - it never makes it to the house), and god knows what else.

In this day and age I receive 99% of any personal correspondence via email, (save for Christmas and Birthday cards).
I don't even pay bills via USPS.

It is mind-boggling that in this day and age that they operate almost identically to the way they did 40 years ago.
Cut out the bullsh1t, use the profits to grow electronic communication in rural areas and subsidize rural parcel delivery.
Problem solved.
