Wonder how many times he voted for democrats.
LOL! Though LI is primarily Republican, but if he was a dem, I'm sure he voted many times on election day..... But it is kind of sad to think no one cared.....I blame that on the dems influence on our society today.
If he had a mail slot in the door, the postman would never notice.
I agree that with w/automatic payments, no one would notice anything was wrong for a long time. However, my experience with older people is that they don't tend to use automatic payments. They like to either send out the bills or go directly to the utility. I don't understand it, but there you are. I had a fair number of elderly clients when I practiced law and you couldn't even get them to get direct deposit for the social security check, although now I think the gubmint is trying to strong arm people into doing so.
I was thinking the same before I read your remarks...I think this story kind of illustrates how easily we can all become isolated from each other as our lives become increasingly automated. If I died in my sleep tonight, my coworkers would try calling me Monday, and somebody from work would swing by on Monday, lunchtime at the latest. I wonder how many telecommuters would just be written off, their employers assuming they just went to work for somebody else....
The key to the story is:
nobody cares about anything... except themselves
He could have had a mail slot in his door and if he received no large packages, the mail would just have piled up in his foyer.
