Mail a letter, save postal worker

For some time now, I have noticed that newspaper columnists do not list their postal addresses so that those reading columnist columns do not know where to send them postal letters in communications with them.

However, there are millions of older persons who are unable to try electrical communications with them; thus columnists are missing out on readers as well as costing the U.S. Postal Service plenty of loss in postage stamps. Thus, the postal departments across our nation are not making money, and the public loses postal service due to loss of being used.

The result is postage stamps costing more and postal help lost in many instances, whereas older persons who are unable to use electronics to communicate are also being deliberately denied a chance to communicate postal-wise.

Even some enclosures give only electronic addresses, thus they are then deliberately in denial of their chance to communicate, leaving much that could not only have been helpful in future columns public-wise, so everyone would be at a loss at one point or another. Simply by giving the postal address under columns, even the U.S. Postal Service may be able to break even in financial returns and not have to continue raising postage stamps to break even. Think about it and help everyone in mail.
