I am afraid we are forced to use the biggies.
There are no alternaives, and at work and in personal lives, we are all being directed to on line sources.
There are no more off line sources for various issues.
for example, one cannot get paycheck information unless on line and using search or app, one needs to sign up to receive information about labs etc. from doctors, businesses have all put scheduling on line and text alerts for open shifts.
Truckers have many issue requiring on line services so don’t tell me that there are options and choices.
I never said there are -nor have I argued that there SHOULD be - unlimited options or choices in the world, with regard to going online vs paper and pencil. That's a whole separate kettle of fish requiring a discussion of Luddites, and (again) the role of the govt in regulating how a business delivers service.
I suppose some things aren't available offline anymore...I'm not a trucker but l know I can still get my auto registration and cash out of my bank in person. I can even get my groceries in person and pay in cash. Of course I can't post to FR offline...that is a market force.
I can't recall the oral argument, but an attorney was arguing something like a law before SCOTUS had to be upheld because its repeal would lead to inefficiency. Scalia jumped in and said something like "government isn't supposed to be efficient." He went on to say that proper governance and wrestling over many matters should be deliberate and thoughtful. Expediency isn't always prudent.
In many ways, we have the same menu of choices before us today.,,.it is CERTAINLY more inefficient to go to the DMV to renew my registration AND pay in cash. But I retain a little liberty in the process. If as you state, some things you MUST go online to do today, I see that as a market force of cost savings vs federal intrusion. Further, I would NEVER want to argue for the govt to regulate how a business delivers a service...they can't deliver basic services so why would I expect the govt to get such regulation right?
Leaving the biggies out of this realm seems like a better way to go.
