You know, I'm guessing that a whole lot of the post office's revenue comes from all of those advertising bulk mail things that go out. I wish they'd do away with THAT rather than legit first class mail. I get so much unsolicited GARBAGE (including multiple copies of local/municipal magazines that I never opted in to), that I often miss important stuff in the pile. I'm sure I've even thrown away important stuff that got stuck in a pile of coupon mailers.
One would think that if they cut back on bulk rate stuff and concentrated on just doing a quality job with important mail, we could cut back on so much paper use, and mail delivery could be so much more efficient! I totally get that without all of the bulk rate or other types of mass mailings that the amount of staff may need to be reduced, and that's always unfortunate. But I fill up a full kitchen sized trash can with mail that goes straight from the mailbox to the bin, EVERY WEEK. Perhaps less mail would get lost if the postal system didn't have so much other clutter to deal with.
OK, back to ATCs.
