Exactly the kind of thing I'm complaining about.

We need to update laws for the fact that we now live in 2020 and not 1820.

I understand that for most healthy, housed, able-bodied, privileged people, mail is a decent way to get in touch with people. For the rest of us email/web is safer, faster, more secure, less burdensome, easier to verify, better for the environment, easier to store, etc.



That’s not what you sounded like in your original post. In that, you say to abolish the USPS, not that we should update our laws because email is a thing now.


I'm not sure what your point is here. As I said in my first post, it's 2020 almost. Let's start acting like it. It has been a long long time since snail mail was the most reliable form of communication.
