The post office is in dire straits because many, many people don't mail things anymore. I pay all our bills online and receive most of my bills by email. A book of stamps lasts me several months because I mail things so seldom. With so much less mail going out you wonder why charities keep sending return address labels to people. I now throw them out as we have enough for a lifetime.
Junk mail gets special, cheaper rates for the senders so wonder just how much profit the post office makes from that.
