A lot of what we consider wasteful, expensive, and unnecessary becomes absolutely critical when it is needed. That siren that annoys you when they test it can be a lifesaver when used to warn of a tornado. That seatbelt that is such a pain in the neck and has never helped you at all might save your life one day. And that inefficient, expensive USPS that you spend a lot of money on to get almost nothing but unwanted junk mails (90% at least) delivers that other 10% which is not unwanted and can include financial statements, notices required by the government, mail-in ballots, and Christmas cards.
Don't think just about the 90% that you don't want, consider what would happen if you didn't receive the 10% that you do want.
