I imagine it's only a matter of time before we end up with Hermes and companies like that opening their own and completely replacing it.

"One morning, on one of the canals in the exquisite Dutch city of Delft, home of Vermeer, I watched a TNT van crawling along. Every so often the driver would stop, get out, deliver a package to one of the handsome brick houses, and move on. A few minutes later, a second postman followed in his wake, on foot, in the blue uniform of Sandd, trudging along with his heavy sack."

This is a really sad image.

Have any of you followed the saga, or rather tragedy, of the PO's shitty accountancy software that led to hundreds of subpostmasters being falsely accused of fraud? It's been covered pretty well in Private Eye. People's lives were ruined, some got sent to prison and there was at least one suicide.

It's not much of an exaggeration to say I want the cunts responsible for it to swing from a rope, but I think most of them didn't even get their wrists slapped and are probably still earning big money fucking something else up now.

amazon has pretty much done that here, not too far fetched to see them or a new division of uber vying for the business using drones and driverless vehicles.

Trump, Russia and an Intelligence Document: Key Moments Officials told The New York Times Magazine that the draft of a classified document reporting that Russia favored President Trump in the 2020 election was changed to soften its assessment.

A little more than a year ago, American intelligence agencies drafted a classified document reporting that the Russian government favored President Trump in the 2020 presidential election, a finding that fit with their consensus that the Kremlin tried to help him in 2016.

The director of national intelligence was asked to modify the assessment — he did not — and not long afterward, Mr. Trump declared the director was out.

Soon after the new acting director arrived, an intelligence official changed the document, softening the claim that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia wanted Mr. Trump to win, according to an article published on Saturday by The New York Times Magazine. The investigation includes details not previously reported about the fears of officials in U.S. intelligence agencies under the Trump administration, who described struggling to brief the president without provoking his anger or losing their jobs.

A “key judgment” of the document was that in the 2020 election, Russia favored the current president. To allay any speculation that Mr. Putin’s interest in Mr. Trump had cooled, the judgment was supported by information from a highly sensitive foreign source described as “100 percent reliable” by someone who read the draft.

The intelligence used by the analysts also indicated that Russia had worked in support of Senator Bernie Sanders, then running for the Democratic nomination for president. A veteran national intelligence officer explained to his colleagues, according to notes taken by one participant in the process, that this did not reflect a genuine preference for Mr. Sanders, but instead an effort “to weaken that party and ultimately help the current U.S. president.”

It doesn't feel as though it will matter if it does. Everyone knows where they stand on him by now.
Yeah, even if it does reveal something pretty massive, I can't imagine there are many people who're currently planning to vote for him who are going to change their mind as a result. Even so, there might be more floating voters than you think - I read about some survey that showed that a shocking number of voters don't decide who to vote for until polling day, and if that was true in the past it'll probably still be true to at least some extent this November. I guess every little thing that emphasises what a total fucking crook he is can only be a good thing?
