This is a really fun post. I was last aware of postage prices as they approached 50 cents.
At some point, I heard that without the revenue they make stuffing our boxes full of garbage we don't want, each letter would cost a dollar more.
Maybe you can get another curve for what they'd have to charge to break even without junkmail. I don't think junkmail was a thing back in 1862.
