> I find the idea that everyone needs an address is outdated and harmful at least to some groups.
The #1 thing the USPS could have done to retain customers would be to have an actual sane forwarding service. I just had a company I worked at 10 years ago call me for an updated address because I had mail that kept going there after being returned from an address I had 5 years ago...
I wish I could just tell the USPS my current address, and instead just list an address for leters that would forward to my actual address.
(yes this exists as a forwarding service, but we could skip all that)
