At the USPS things HAVE to change. Get rid of mailboxes. Smart move. Thats so 1950's. I mean the mailman goes to every house. Why would be need mailboxes. Letters should cost $5 to send. I pay all my bills online. I havent sent a letter in 10 years. If its important it goes UPS or FedEx. ?
Usually a "smart" question requires one to wait before offering a conclusion. There are 300million plus in the US, one person does not establish a pattern.
First and best answer for need for Blue mail boxes, they have much higher security then mailing a check in a unsecured box on the street in front of your house with a red indicator sticking up waiting for the mailman to arrive.
My personal experience, my 92 year old Mom's town she has lived in for over 40 years, removed the drive up Blue mail box recently at the main PO, for reasons unknown, now she has to park her car, walk in, rain or shine, to simply mail a letter/check/document. The PO is supposed to be from day 1 a constitutional service for all, its not a profit center, it's a long time well liked socialist program, like many others. Can it be improved, absolutely, but smartly
