> Junk mail is vital for the USPS finances. It's over 20% of their income, ~$16 billion/yr.

I wonder how time and money processing and delivering that junk mail cost them. They could forgo that $16B and have more time to provide better service for non-junk mail.

Support postal banking and postal identify proofing services, both of which would generate revenue that could replace suboptimal activities such as junk mail.
