The postal service is not "a dinosaur"

[A Black Falcon]

So basically, because you get little mail, you've deluded yourself into thinking that most people are like you? That's completely insane, and I don't think it requrires a long response. It's just nuts.

It's an antiquated relic of a time when better options simply didn't exist. Instead of subsidizing a service which is failing because people don't want to use it, we should subsidize services people actually need and do want to use, like improving our woefully-inadequate broadband infrastructure.

No, people use it, just not enough of them to pay for the current size of the system.

Do you really want your tax dollars to go towards the continuing proliferation of junk mail (and all the environmental waste it creates), or would you rather spend $2 to send a letter the half-dozen times a year you actually need to send a letter?

Once again, sure a lot of it is, but not all mail is junk mail. One person is not a representative sample of the entire country...

I mean, sure, most of the mail I get is junk mail too. Not 95%, certainly (I pay some bills by mail, some other things come (magazines sometimes, etc.), and such), but most of it. I think that that's valuable, and certainly wouldn't want it to be inordinately expensive or unavailable.

Also, I would hope that junk mail would go in the recycling, not the garbage. :)
