3. Why burn them now when they'll be closed in a few years?

The USPS is a dinosaur and no longer provides a necessary service. Sorry if that sounds drastic, but it's the truth. The mail delivery here consists of a few bills and the rest is junk mail. Half the time we get mail addressed to a neighbor or, on many occasions, folks in another town altogether. . There is nothing the Postal Service provides that can't be handled more efficiently either electronically (email, bill-paying) or by another existing service. For example, package delivery takes 2-3 times longer than FedEx or UPS. The USPS has morphed into a jobs program, nothing more.
