I think this is an extremely bubbled view of how mail works in the United States and the relative access of the internet. A good chunk of the United States doesn’t have reliable internet, but will have consistent mail service.
- dylan604 5y agoThe question posed: Do you still want mail? I responded no. You come back with some out of scope non-sense about thinking outside of me. That's not the question. If the question was "should the mail system be abolished", we can have the discussion you want, but maybe you should ask that question. The original question as actually posted followed with "yes we still need them".
- op00to 5y agoWow cute response.
- dylan604 5y agoI love when people ask me a question, and then someone tells me that's wrong because I had a different response than theirs. It's not a "what's your opinion" type of question. It was a simple yes/no question directly targeted to the reader. My no response in no way suggested that nobody else anywhere ever should no longer receive mail. The response I received was just trying too hard to twist things.
- smallerfish 5y agoThe problem is that rural USPS is _not_ reliable (source: have lived in multiple rural locations). USPS is reliable in cities. Internet is also reliable in cities. Most people have phones. For those who don't, alternate infrastructure that leverages the internet could easily exist, and would be way more efficient than the USPS network. Watch this get downvoted, because people really emotionally _care_ about USPS.
