The USPS is an archaic spam delivery and doxxing enablement system. I definitely would have rather seen it overhauled and modernized, but I’m not particularly upset. I just don’t like that the only alternatives Americans have are corporate.

I would be fine if they stopped delivering and just held it all at the post office and just notified me when something other than spam arrives, which is maybe 2 tikes per year.

But I suppose that creates a new issue as they would have to have a play to store everobes mail…maybe a bad idea.

all they got to do is jack up the advertising rates you can blanket a city of 1m with an advo hand-delivered to every door for less money than a local billboard charges to put an ad up over the highway for a week

When you perform an address change in the US, the USPS site actually tries to trick you into signing up for predatory company offers, I’m assuming because they get some sort of kickback. Not a great look.

EDIT: 7 downvotes so far, but not a single person willing to tell me I’m actually wrong. Because it’s true.
