What could someone possibly learn from junk mail, that they could not even more easily learn from the internet, from the comfort of their own house?

The simple solution would be to allow cancellation and to return all mail to the sender with a notice that the account has been cancelled. But, that would save too much taxpayer money and may put the USPS out of business.
You would put Newman out of work?

One mans junk is another mans treasure. I shred anything that is addressed to me. Maybe a little OCD but as I’ve said in past posts, why make it even easier. Credit card offers that come with a lot of pre filled fields is a good example. Again, I always go by First Class mail vs Presort standard as to its value to me....

My mother passed away 21 years ago, she was never in Florida. We have been getting invitations to dinner to listen to various presentations. Depending where they are (we prefer Chop House, Lopez, or similiar) and if they are there and the subject is remotely (way remotely) interesting we take her invitation and go for the free meal. Can't learn that from the Internet lol

Sorry. Wrong number!

The real reason that women outlive men by an average of 6-8 years is...it takes them that long to finish what they were going to say!
