For me, I would be sad to see the letters go.
I like getting post even if it's junk.
I do miss the days of writing letters.
Do you?
Denmark is ending the posting of mail now.
Would you like to see that happen in your place?

Mostly, we just get junk mail and a few bills a month. I wouldn't miss them. Used to, I had lively, ongoing back and forth letters with several family members but all of that is text messages now with the few family members who are left.
The US should probably end the postal system here, too, and save the money.

@RebeccasFarm Our city pulled all of them except for two right in back of the Post Office years and years ago. So did most small towns around us.

@RebeccasFarm It's always fun to be expecting something special in the mail also.

I remember writing many a letter when I was young. My BFF moved and so we would write long letters to one another. Others down through the years too. It's sad, but most changes are for a while.

I know of people who only get communication by mail or phone calls at a public phone. No private phones, no texts, no internet, no e mail. I hope the mail continues to be an option.

It would be sad except for the junk mail I receive. I do wonder how they would substitute important mail such as car registration and licenses. Online safety might be an issue. And having to go to DMV in person and wait on a line would be a hassle.
