Goodbye USPO

[Rudeboyelvis]

Since 95% of mail delivered is unsolicited, bulk rate junk mail, how's about raising the bulk rate 4000%?

Eliminates virtually all junk mail, and if it doesn't eliminate it (because the advertisers choose to pay the new rate), it at least pays for itself, for once.

What other advertising medium is subsidized by the govt. to the manner and degree that the USPS is?

Either way, it drops this asinine necessity of keeping the dinosaur on life support.

Scale it back to where it needs to be, or force the abusers to pay their fair share to use it.

Pretty goddamn simple, really.

Great ideas

and how about the workers funding their own insurance and retirement? Like the vast majority of the 70% not on the public dole do?

there is a place to go online (ironic, huh?) where you can cut out most unsolicited mail. i did that a few years back, it greatly reduced the amount of credit card solicitations as one example. do not call, do not mail.
as for bill paying, i do the vast majority thru auto pay or online. i'm sure most of us do. when i look at the huge, new, state of the art facility about an hour from here, i just shake my head. and they wonder why they're in the red?

I ordered a couple steaks a few years ago for a family member for xmas and get shiat from them every two weeks. And I signed up to receive nada! Gracias!

Amazing the IRS and IL have stopped sending tax forms

and to think rain forests are being cut down to accommodate such
