Some asshole: “Publicly funded postal services are obsolete. Private couriers can do everything the post office can do more cheaply and efficiently.”
UPS: *chucks a $300 piece of computer hardware from a moving vehicle to land in the middle of my driveway as I watch from my living room window, then takes off without ever coming to a complete stop; five minutes later, an email arrives in my inbox informing me that my parcel has been left at the door because the courier couldn’t find the requested no-contact dropoff location*
I want to emphasise that this is not a hypothetical scenario. It happened twenty-five minutes ago.
