We give to a number of charities. It’s enough of a burden to keep up with the
legitimate causes which are all too often willing to dun you for more donations
one week after you’ve given them money.
Not to mention the causes that have a magazine that will happily send
you three concurrent copies rather than the three consecutive years that you
intended.
Then there’s the “survey”
letters where they pretend to be soliciting your opinions. Ha!
They are trying to echo-chamber your opinions and asking you for money
to affirm them. Then there are the incredibly weighted questions that cousin to your ignorance and bias. So many “questions” sound like: “Now that we know that moon landings cause
hurricanes, are you in favor to defunding NASA?” Republican Representatives use these a lot
while trying to justify their attacks on straw men democratic policies and the mean, greedy policies that they propose which actually hurt their
constituents.
Then there is the snail
mail “clickbait.” No return address?
When the mail comes, if I see an envelope that has
no indication of who has sent it to me; it goes into the trash unopened. If you wish to be (mysteriously?) anonymous;
I respect your anonymity; I choose to not see you.
You’ve wasted your mailing$. I don’t think I’ll play.
