Junk Mail or Those wonderful credit card offers!
Don't you just love that offer for a credit card! Pay no attention to the nearly 30% default interest rate!! Another thing that so impresses me is the line that "I DESERVE" never mind that I may not have earned it - I just deserve it. What I love the most is the postage paid envelope they send with the offer. After throwing them away over the years I've changed. The US Postal System is running low on money. I don't want to see my costs go up - so I stuff the junk back in the envelope and send it back. The way I figured it cost the 44 cents plus handling. Someone has to open and look at the contents - I would see about one to two dollars being spent to find out it is their junk back. If everyone did the same the USPS would get a big bump in fees - I would not have so much trash and the credit firm that sent it to me would go nuts.
Talking to a guy at the post office - I asked if I wrapped a brick and taped the postage paid envelope what would happen. The answer - and I love it - "we would send it".
WOW how much would that cost? Maybe the credit card company could build a building to keep the junk mail.
