Are you a homeowner? I do get some legitimate mail, though always from companies that already sent me a digital bill I paid by auto-debit anyway, that just refuse to go paper-free even though I'm throwing away all the paper they send me. But the overwhelmingly majority of my mail is unsolicited refinance offers, just as the overwhelming majority of my SMS texts and phone calls are people claiming they heard I want to sell my house.

If communication wasn't worthless before, flooding money markets to drive interest rates to permanent zero finished killing it.

At least with email, most of it gets automatically filtered, though it is also quite annoying there when every company or contractor I have ever purchased anything from ever feels the need to send me every day updates on everything happening with their business.
