The problem is that the advertisers are not paying enough money to cover the cost to deliver the junk. Our Government is subsidizing the cost. It has gotten to the point that almost all of our mail is junk, and the "for profit" services like UPS and FEDEX are delivering the real mail. If the USPS charged the actual cost to deliver junk mail, the junk mail would disappear.
