Although the internet, email and digital services in general, may not be much of a threat to postal services. Since the use of digital services actually increases the demand for post, in that people order things on line for delivery and many on-line activities generate paper work, so that use of the net has been found to generate more mail.

My son is a mail carrier for the post office and he sure hates the weekly ad day, when everyone gets a packet of ads whether they want them or not. I'm sure most of them go in the waste/recycle bin without even a look at the ads.

Yeah, that was a sweet thing, for whatever trash mail must be delivered, they deliver it to mailboxes in housing subdivisions, it has become very impersonal.

If it wasn’t for the junk mail, they would be in even worse financial shape than they are. Or you would be paying $5 or more for a stamp to cover the cost of delivering those couple of family Christmas cards to your door.

Yes it's called spamming & email.

Dejoy days are limited now look for a revival of the postal system
