I call our place “tropical paradise without the ocean”. And since both of us have had our fill of the ocean, that is a good thing. ;-)

But to the point, we have bills and services, and a business. We have no need for the USPS. EVERYTHING is done by computer with the rare exception of sending or receiving a FedEx letter or UPS package.

We don’t need the USPS at all at our place. It could be eliminated and the main thing I would notice is that I don’t have to twist the riding mower around the mailbox post any more.

You may choose to be a hermit if you like, but those of us who receive our bills electronically don’t need to sit around waiting for some union dork to shove a piece of paper into a metal box at the street. It’s called technology—you should try it sometime.
