Odd story, thank you.
A quick search showed that Denmark has embraced digital mail more than any other country, so much so, that the mail service can no longer be supported. They are actually removing mailboxes and giving refunds on stamps.
I suppose the Danes found a way to make it work for them, but the downside was the loss of thousands of jobs. Of course it is a small country, so restarting the service wouldn't take that long.
Imagine the US trying to restart the postal service. I guy would have to find a uniform in an abandoned truck, meet Ford Lincoln Mercury who can convince some kids to help him deliver the mail around the country as a barter service, maybe meet a famous singer operating a dam. Almost sounds like a good movie.
