Gotta pay for all those Amazon deliveries somehow.
Not to mention all that junk mail from AAA advertising their life insurance 25 times a year if you ever bother joining, and all the other discounted bulk mail from charities that target the elderly. If you ask me they should not discount any mail, ever... everyone pays the same price. Would eliminate a lot of problems and generate a lot of revenue.
I don't see why we even need the U.S. Postal Service anymore. Most of what I receive is junk mail that goes right in the trash without even being opened.

Same here, I can't remember when I last got a piece of mail that I actually opened. All of our bills are paperless and paid online. I wouldn't be able to find a stamp to save my life, have not used one in years.
I would have expected the USPS to go under years ago if not for their Amazon deliveries.
I don't use the postal service much either, but when I do, it's a whole lot cheaper than the private carrier alternatives. Plus, the private companies won't deliver to my mother because she is in a rural area that's not profitable. So I would hate to see it go.

It’s a service that is very heavily used by people, it’s pretty cheap and reliable for the work being done.

Right. I had my parents' mail forwarded to my address after my dad died and my mom went into memory care. Yesterday I had a huge mailbox FULL of stuff - and I threw every single piece of it away. Every bit of it was junk mail.
