I come from the future!

Now you need a subscription to get mail, including jury summons. The subscription will be $100/mo but that's actually not too bad after the 2026 inflation. Despite paying for your subscription, there will be even more ads. Also they'll wrap your jury summons in a random ad each time. Damaging the electronics in your reusable box will result in a fee.

Jokes on you, they don't let people like me serve on juries. Just make a official government email and be done with it.

We still have to get the summons and show up in order to get out of jury duty.

Email would completely defeat the purpose; then people wouldn't read their spam!

Pretty sure you could program your email client to not send official government emails to spam but what do I know?

But then nobody would have to sign up for a crony postal replacement.

So like it's good for the American Public and the environment?
