If it’s so easy, and it works, why is “go talk to the local post office and you won’t get any more ads” only mentioned here, deep down in the comment chain? Why isn’t this the advice actual post office workers come with? Why do they just tell you to personally, manually, routinely sort out “Standard” mail instead?
I personally think you’re talking bullshit.
I’m guessing in reality it only opts you out of some ads, or maybe post offices are inconsistent in actually following the requests, so people who’ve tried it are unlikely to recommend it as in practice it barely changes the situation. Am I wrong here?
I also think “Equal rights for all advertisements! The post office must get it all out to the people!” is a terrible way to prevent tampering with what does and doesn’t get delivered, and again you as a society have been hoodwinked by suits telling you what’s in your best interest. Like the clowns you are.
“Unfortunately it’s a little easy to exploit…” should be printed on every cover of every title of the US Code of Laws. With a little winkey face ;)
Yep, you’re wrong! This is the advice post office workers “come with”. It’s the same as with the do not call registry - most people just don’t know about it.
Also, erm, this isn’t “equal rights for advertisements”? It’s just an old law that says the post office has to deliver everything they’re given. The first poster was just embellishing it for drama, which is a time honored american tradition so I can’t really judge them.
Hate on the US all you want tho, just seems like there are more worthy topics than a misrepresented law.
I’m gonna need to see a lot more testimonials from people this has worked for before I even begin to believe you; That it’s as simple as going to the post office once and asking them not to deliver ads to your address, and you stop getting ads there.
And if this is true, it just means a different couple of traits were creating America’s ad mail problem. Ignorance and laziness.
Lmao traits that as we all know have never been ascribed to the american public, or the human species in general.
(Unrelated but dude, an entreaty: If this is bait it’s pretty weak. And even if it’s not you might want to try taking a break from the internet, it’s making you act like a stooge.)
((Seriously you’re not going to get me to argue that the US isn’t fundementally broken. I just want the ways it’s broken to be accurately recorded, is all))
