Honestly, I don't mind junk mail that much.

- It's slightly depressing to come home to no new mail (I know, that's just a weird mental thing for me).

- More importantly, it helps keep the postal service afloat, something that I think is an important service.

-- It keeps a sizable chunk of U.S. government workers employed. Employed is good.

-- It acts as a proxy wellness check for elderly and rural citizens.

-- It lets Grandma cheaply send me a card and $20 for my birthday. Email and Venmo just doesn't cut it.
