In a way it makes sense. My US mail is mostly junk - coupon brochures, scams (like extended warranty scams disguised to look legitimate), and bills or noticed that are legally required to be physical. I do enjoy greeting cards from friends or family but that type of thoughtful communication is rare these days and mostly replaced by casual digital stuff. Still, having the ability to send things to other people feels like an important government funded service.

I recently started taking a closer look at the junk, and found that a lot of the coupon brochures here have useful coupons for places I actually do occasionally shop at.
For example now nearly every time I decide I don't want to make lunch or dinner and instead go grab something at a fast food place I've got a coupon for a pretty good deal.
