Spam my mailbox all you want. That costs you time and money, not me.

We all like to joke about mailbox spam, but it's certainly a serious issue - and the worst part is there's little to zero incentive for USPS to stop stuffing our mailboxes full of garbage.

As long as the junk mailer companies pay their postage, USPS is more than happy to deliver the junk to you.

I don't have any data, but I'd wager junk mailers are a sizable portion of annual USPS revenue...
