Letter mail still has a purpose. Email really can’t replace it. Sending bills to proprietary portals I need to sign into to see what I owe is ridiculous. Just one more app bro. It’s not an embrace of the digital age, it’s a tech utopian fantasy.

    I usually get my bills in a PDF? You have to join sites to view them? I would hate that.

    Email is both insecure and unreliable by design. I would never want to receive anything financially or legally important that way. As a notification option, sure, but not the only way.
