You can’t blame the USPS for junk mail. They deliver, as fast as they can, and that’s it.
They also establish postage rates. Those rates are specifically designed to maximize revenue from junk mail. So, yes, I can actually place a large part of the blame for junk mail directly on the postal service. They need the revenue from that junk mail to stay solvent. Without that junkmail, they would bankrupt themselves.
Which means their primary business is trash distribution. If uBlock functioned in the real world, the first thing it would block would be highway billboards, followed immediately by the USPS in its entirety.
One thing that should be brought back to the post, and my president, Elizabeth Warren, agrees, is payday check loans.
I fully agree with that. Basic banking services should be a core function of the post office.
