I wish they would get rid of all mail except for person to person written letter, checks made out to me, and packages I've ordered. Everything else is garbage.
You'd be killing the USPS. They survive because of that garbage.
I'm not convinced they should survive, given all the waste. USPS jobs pay well tho. I've made some decent money as a contractor... hauling truckloads of these garbage commercial flyers and nondescript magazines. But in the distribution facilities, I've often seen literally shipments of birds, bees, plants, or just glancing down at a pile of mail, might see an obvious love letter. Hopefully not a creep. And all the shipping from Amazon, UPS, Fedex, etc, tends to find its way in a USPS truck.
edit: also, fuck DeJoy. that rat bastard can go back to XPO.
The cool thing about USPS is they are required to deliver to any and all addresses in America. Your Grandma lives in the middle of nowhere and needs her prescriptions? Usps is probably the only service that will deliver that to her.
In fact medication is a top reason why we NEED the USPS to survive
