No wonder the USPS is going broke

How many of you are 99.99% mistake free at your jobs?

How many of those successful delivers were pointless junk mail and advertisements that I have no desire to receive and go straight in the trash. I don't even get my bills through the USPS. I Recieved a total of 11 Christmas cards, 14 birthday cards, three letters, 7 packages I wanted, and about 5000 useless wastes of paper in my mailbox in 2014. I haven't bought a stamp or sent a single item via USPS for 10 years.
