The expression eventually died. Automobiles triumphed. The population of American horses plunged from 26.5 million in 1915 to a mere 3.6 million in 2012.LThe expression eventually died.

And streets in America became a lot cleaner and less oderous.

There is another similarity between horses and newspapers.

They both make a mess in the street with their excrement.

Maybe if they interrupted my browsing with autoplay ads, or popovers that blocked what I was looking at. That would get me coming back!

Printed newspapers can’t die out fast enough to suit me.

i have not seen anybody reading a printed newspaper in several years

even on trains where they used to always read newspapers, now everyone that isn’t a begger or shake-down artist or break-dancer or molester or sleeper......is glued to their computers and smartphones

no papers
