Re: junk mail
Dear Elon,
Now that you've chainsawed USAID, the Department of Education, the Pentagon, etc., I would like to draw your attention to the poster child for government inefficiency--USPS, and in particular, junk mail.
90% of our mail is junk mail. Instead of raising the price of a first class stamp to 73 cents, the USPS should raise the rate for junk mail to $73 per ounce.
Not only would eliminating junk mail reduce the amount of mail handled by the USPS a hundredfold and reduce the amount of junk mail being sent to landfills a hundredfold, but also eliminating junk mail would be a great service to the American people.
A hundredfold decrease in junk mail would allow you to chainsaw USPS staff AND reduce the cost of a first class stamp to a more reasonable 25 cents.
Talk about win-win!
Sincerely,
(your name)
