How is that the fault of the USPS? Mail "spam" wouldn't go away if UPS/FedEx took over the postal service via privatization.

I've heard of people blaming socialism for spam, and the answer is to privatize the USPS...as if more capitalism would solve the problem.

I don't get that kind of logic at all.

I'm required to facilitate the USPS's delivery of this spam by maintaining a box in my yard if I want to ever get anything from them at all. If UPS/FedEx start leaving garbage in my yard I can sue them for littering on my private property.
