Then propose a plan for how to make USPS green while maintaining efficiency, and we can have a vote on it.

So, get rid of the “you have to make a profit” requirement, fund it via taxes, and charge the spammers normal rates.

How do you know it is spam?

It’s not worth spending 55 cents to mail it?

> Marketing mail volume for 2019 was 75 Billion

At a subsidy of 10 cents per envelope shipped, the US government is funding a $7.5 Billion / year worth of marketing operations for private companies and scammers of all sorts.

Also, according to those stats less than 10% of the mail throughput is used for the benefit of the citizens. Where you informed on this before engaging?

It sounds like you're agreeing with me?

Perhaps, I believe I was confused with the "55 cents.." reply.

I agree that private entities should be treated differently. It was never the objective of the service to work the way it works now.

Do you have a citation for the assertion that this portion of their business is not profitable and being "exploited"?

I'm genuinely curious.

Come on. I've seen these numbers, they say nothing about profitability. Your assertion was about profitability, not volume.

Edit: I see in your other comment you claim a 10% subsidy on marketing mail but I see this no-where in the source you provided.
