      So how do they get letters when someone sends one from another country? They have to pick them up?

      To clarify, its still possible to send and receive letters. Its just been privatized with this move probably meaning prices will go up and even fewer letters to be sent as a result.

      Americans: what’s missing from this article is the fact that our pro-business concept of the word ‘freedom’ means we don’t really own our right to what can be sent to our personal residence—unlike in more pro-individual Europe. In the USA, business/political/‘charity’ entities come first, meaning we don’t get to decide what gets sent to our mailbox.

      Idk, it just made me sad even though it barely matters to me. Sad times indeed.

      This should not be news. Postal services were not needed a decade ago. Private sector already handles package delivery much better. Amazon, same day delivery for example. Let private industry handle this. I get people are in their feels about someone losing their job, but the customer(citizens) interests should be put first.

      I am curious how much money digitization has saved us, vs how much money has been lost due scams that are now enabled by the digitization.

      > With fewer letters being sent, postage stamp costs have soared. Sending a standard letter in Denmark now costs 29.11 krone ($6.84).

      That’s insanely expensive.

      Norway here:

      We have letter delivery three times a week.

      Post offices are ‘kiosks’ at grocery stores- so an 18 year old kid handles packages we mail. Personal packages arrive there (person to person).

      Most deliveries from businesses go to lockers at drop points, and we retrieve them using apps— to prevent porch piracy.

      We have a national digital ‘mailbox’ that handles legal documents, tax stuff, motor vehicle stuff, etc— based on our ‘social security number.’

      I literally have purchased cars and houses on my phone….. paperless.

      It’s about time! If I really want to deliver someone envelope with Christmas greetings, it can be delivered by parcel service or courier service. Simple as that!
