Why Is there still mail?

[ChingOwn]

I will not be around to defend myself I have to drive to Albuquerque today but I ask you all to debate in a dignified manner and bring me insight as to why.

Anybody around the age of 35 and below must have asked themselves this question. I am not talking about packages and stuff I mean snail mail...all it is, is a useless means for companies to advertise to us, I personally go to the mail box once a week just to empty it out and proceed strait to the outdoor garbage bin and sort through it and 98% of the time I throw every single parcel of mail into that dumpster.

Couldn't we migrate all the mailmen into package delivery? I'm sure all the businesses get most of their advertising done online or by airwaves. mail is a product of a bygone era is it not?

I didn't have access to internet/email when I was locked up in county so letters were one of my only way of communicating, collect calls got expensive. Other than that I honestly can't think of any other time I've used it.

I wonder this same thing...85% of mail is spam on paper. Figure out a way to get rid of it and we'd have quicker deliveries and save millions!

Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution, known as the Postal Clause or the Postal Power, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads"

The spam is actually what is keeping the Postal Service alive. They took a dive when competition was allowed (Fed Ex, UPS, etc)

Snail Mail = bills I pay every 30 days ....maybe

if the cash ain't around,

and the bill fuck calls

I can always say

I've not received it

or if an expensive bill the cash stays in my bank

making good interest.......

right until the last minute

then with bill in hand and late I pay up

good luck

i sent a handwritten note and some artwork to a friend just last week. People love the tactile old ways. I'm trying to re-up my snail mail quotient.

I actually collect old mail...recently bought on ebay an actual work order from 1912 for the company I worked for. I think it's soooo cool. I'm easily entertained though.
