    pamphlet with all current discounts in the supermarkets nearb

    I know you said you were joking but this is a terrible example as these have been digital and easily accessible via apps for a long time haha.

    I’m struggling to think of cases where it is truly necessary. Obviously sometimes you get physical letters from banks to get new credit cards. But this is like, one letter every 5 years? Perhaps there’s a few other things like that. But yea honestly I don’t think the government has to be in charge of mail at that point as it is so underused.

      That is actually one of my main uses of mail, and I do really appreciate them.

      Regarding important things, I live in a foreign country and when I have to vote for my government I get sent a letter, I vote and send back the letter. If the country I lived in removed mail I would not be able to vote in this way.
