The Post Office is obsolete

Remember when we used to send each other faxes? Cover pages and all. That was a wild time. You know what we don't do anymore? Send faxes.

- Richard Chemaly

Maybe one day, as somebody was bragging to their kid about how tech savvy they are by sending a fax to e-mail, their kid just asked: "Why not just send an e-mail?" It was probably at about that time that we realised we probably don't need faxes anymore.

In much the same way as we need less asbestos because we've stopped making fire suits out of it and need fewer parking lots because of ride sharing. If something is too antiquated for purpose, why keep funding it?

A couple of billion to bail out the post office... again? Why?

So that I can send post slower than a courier and spend the next three Sundays in church praying that it will get there?

So I can find out that there's no paper to print my car registration disk and may as well get it on my banking app and have it delivered?
