Although the internet, email and digital services in general, may not be much of a threat to postal services. Since the use of digital services actually increases the demand for post, in that people order things on line for delivery and many on-line activities generate paper work, so that use of the net has been found to generate more mail.

My son is a mail carrier for the post office and he sure hates the weekly ad day, when everyone gets a packet of ads whether they want them or not. I'm sure most of them go in the waste/recycle bin without even a look at the ads.

Yeah, that was a sweet thing, for whatever trash mail must be delivered, they deliver it to mailboxes in housing subdivisions, it has become very impersonal.

Remove yourself from lists. That will reduce the amount of unwanted correspondence. The Constitution requires a universal postal system. The USPS goes to "every" address in the USA. The other delivery services do not. The paper is recyclable as you know, & at this time of year the appeals are excessive. One can not digitally deliver a package ....yet.

Yes it's called spamming & email.

Dejoy days are limited now look for a revival of the postal system
