Junk mail IS the primary revenue source for the Post Office, not stamps for letters to your mother.
And if Trump fails at draining the swamp add Freedom to the list.
Posts like this make me glad I'm far closer to the end of my life than I am the beginning of it. The future ain't looking good, we're headed for another dark age.
11. Common Sense.
Amazing. Most comments are about telephone communication. Are we not concerned about privacy loss? No privacy means government control of everything, even thoughts.
There’s a war in full force and we worry about creature comforts. The Foundinf Fathers would call us cowards and wonder why they risked life and personal wealth.
Post Office? terribly managed. That is why it is in trouble.
It should be sold to private investors that exclude FEDEX, UPS and AMAZON to maintain competition.
The real estate alone will bring many billions of dollars in a sale. One of the reasons the Post Office is so inefficient is even new post offices are located with the horse and buggy mentality.
There is upside and downside to living in remote rural areas, just as there is upside and downside to living in the city. Rural residents need to be honest about the reality of their choice. The Post Office is a good example.
Great first choice!

Landline and newspapers are gone from my household already. Post office is rare.
Privacy. Because these millenials buy digital books, no longer buy CDs or DVDs, use credit cards for a cup of coffee and keep their homing tracking device on themselves constantly, they can never have any expectation of privacy.
The answer here is cash and the retention of information in a independent, physical form. I would imagine that older computers that don’t require Internet updates to function will be at a premium.
I see human robots/zombies every day.
Interesting, but somewhat sad.
For those that think cellphones are expensive, the early 2000’s called and they want thier cellphone back. You can get a good smart phone for $80-$100 and an unlimited plan for $30 per month.
Rap is crap. And whatever isn't rap is overproduced pablum where each song is designed to sound exactly the same as the next. I don't know why the folks who produce this stuff are so afraid of a melody. Maybe they just don't know how to craft one.
11) Grammar
Logic is dead. Excellence is punished. Mediocrity is rewarded. And dependency is to be revered..
I was hoping he was going to list the snail darter.
I would love to get rid of my land-line.
I dare them to provide reliable cell phone service out here in the sticks—in a state where every company claims they have “100% coverage”.
The only thing we have 100% of in this (New England) state is total bulls____!
I sure hope not, and the same goes for newspapers. I don't want to have to read everything on a screen. After a while, screens hurt my eyes.
“Progress” doesn’t necessarily mean that things get better.
