Postal Mail proves slow times

It is funny that people use the term "snail mail" for postal mail being slow...of which of course it is not slow.

However, in North America, I believe one can use it as an indicator to the health of the economy...in the last 2 months, the amount of "flyers, unsolicited mail, etc" (aka junk mail) has slowed to a minor trickle.

It will be interesting to see how long before the volume starts to increase.

Does this also apply to junk email....

Your thoughts?
