“ Because 90% of my email is junk mail ”

I would really like to know how much the senders of the junk mail, whether it is commercial, charity related or political, actually pay for what they fill our mailboxes with. I hate all of it. Somehow, we cannot learn an actual accounting of this. I have a suspicion that there’s a very strong lobby that provides quite a few campaign donations, or free trips to the Super Bowl, etc.,to keep this junk mail flowing.

If the USPS were required to provide only the mail that people want, three times a week delivery would be plenty.

People might have to walk up to one block to have a cluster of mailboxes instead of delivery at every single door. I used to live in a place where some people lived 10 to 20 steps up a hill. There were bushes planted on the hillside so the mail deliverers had to go up the steps and down the steps and repeat that for blocks. That is ridiculous.
