Yeah no one needs to actually sign documents, or send cards, or a personal check, or stuff like that.

No, not really.

Use docusign for legal documents and nobody under 65 uses checks anymore. Who even sends cards these days? Hallmark is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The USPS is today nothing more than a cushy government job for black women that fills my mailbox with little more than grocery store fliers.

I can't remember the last time I actually opened an envelope that was delivered to my mailbox.

Packages, I use them for packages. They at least in my area are better than ups and fedex.

What the heck are you talking about? I still use checks to pay all my bills. I don’t trust that fancy, new-fangled electronic payment stuff.

Oh, wait. I’m over 65. So, yeah. You might be right.

Sorry to hear about Hallmark’s difficulties. I usually order all my cards once a year from them. I admittedly only mail a couple, but: a) ordering on-line is convenient, and b) on-line you have access to a wider selection of cards than you’d find in a local store. Everyone should order and keep them afloat!

I guess you don’t send Christmas cards. We do.

As a "well seasoned citizen", I haven't written a check in >10 years.

I rarely check my mailbox (perhaps 2x/month as most is junk mail) unless I'm expecting a package.

I still get checks and important mail by USPS.
