Which is a totally valid reason to hate USPS.

The USPS is a government-run spam delivery service that there is no way to opt out of. Those of us who do banking and other administrative tasks online would be better off if the government shut it down completely, or better yet subsidized it slightly so it doesn't have to deliver spam to survive.

But as it is, I don't see any good reason to have any more respect for USPS than I do for any other spammer.

Doesn't seem like USPS is the spammer. They're Gmail. People send spam and USPS/Gmail delivers it.

Yes, exactly. I wish the post office were subsidized and acted in the interests of the public. But it is not, and does not.
