Seriously, I cannot think of anything I get useful in the mail anymore. I just renewed my auto registration online. All my bills are paid online. I order everything online. In a few weeks, I'll be submitting my tax returns online and any refund check will be direct deposit.

For all I care, the US Postal Service can just close up Wednesday for good. They do nothing useful anymore.

... and there you have it.

A HUGE way the post office now makes its money is by junk mail. Those companies WE ALL despise are keeping the post office doors open; the grocery ads, the fake ads, the ads that sure seem like scammers.

They are the reason to keep the post office doors open.

That’s why jerks who put a note on their mailbox saying not to leave “junk mail” are dreaming.

Sure they do,after hours——they provide lots of parking spaces for a couple of popular restaurants near me. :-)

Even Amazon uses the USPS to deliver some of their packages.
