With the amount of junk mail people get weekly, I was curious if there are ways you can block, remove or filter the actual mail from ever getting to your mailbox.
The only way is to individually call senders and ask them to stop.
The US Mail system will not take action against junk mail because junk mailers pay for the majority of the upkeep of the mail system.
Think of junk mail like blood plasma. In order to get those red blood cells to you, you need them to be embedded in plasma so they can move through the system.
Thanks for the information; prior to the amount of junk mail today, was this or something similar the case for the pony express or OG mail service?
I don’t know but I doubt it. When logistics were way more expensive they were probably only available to rich people.
Like a lot of the free or cheap services we use today, the US Postal Service is supported by ads.
