You or probably someone on your team probably has insight into how competitive this pricing? Obviously direct mail isn't a Facebook ad, but what's the cost difference? If they 2x'd the price would it really mean more than half the customers would no longer use it?

I think they could double the price and not lose a single legit user. Maybe some spam isn't worth sending at that price.
Would be great if the USPS had a payment/banking system attached and every time they put a letter in my box, the sender pays me $1. I might accept the spam.

If I ran the USPS, I'd introduce Prime.

Prime needs to happen across all government services. Imagine Prime for DMV.

It's effectively the privatization of public services so realistically not politically feasible but could work with USPS.
My grandpa mostly raised me. He was a delivery man for 35+ years. I have a special place in my heart for the USPS but the institution needs an upgrade.

The other problem is no matter how much they try, they will never have Amazon DNA. You know what happens in reality when we privatize govt shit? Companies that shouldnt make any money make billions doing a piss poor job.

Whenever I see these $100m+ government contracts to build a front end for Drupal or whatever it blows my mind. It was probably farmed out to India for $50k and doesn't work anyway with the project being a total write-off/loss. WTF. Seen it so many times.

Yup. For $100m, any half decent tech startup could deliver an excellent product that every municipality in the entire nation could use. We'd pay for it once and we'd be done.

This would be awesome and I think a lot of people would opt in but you would also want a break/refund of some kind from the existing government municipality. It goes all the way up to the state level. It'd be awesome to have a city-state inside of CA with its own regs, taxes, etc
