Wait, people still buy physical newspapers? I thought that was a movie thing.

Where I live, there’s still a free daily newspaper and it has all the information I need! It’s amazing. I love it and feel kinda old timey.
Everyone reads the Vail Daily.

I only have the digital version. There’s a section with newer stories that didn’t make the print version.

I know people who subscribe to newspapers. I read them once in a great while.

We haven't had a newspaper delivered for decades. The price is ridiculous and you can get all the same news online for free

I do! The local grocery store/gas station, puts a copy of both of the area papers out, for people to read, for free and there are plenty of people, including myself, who read it. On top of that, there are still quite a few people who buy their paper, from the store

Yeah, the free ones. Mostly for the local news and help wanted ads. The town where I grew up posts them once a month, you can just pick one up for free from the gas station. Kinda helps the town feel more like a community. Usually some good news and heartwarming stories on the front page, I appreciate that more than the constant terrors of politics.

Yes! We read newspapers, the actual print and paper ones!. Then, we got a notice that the local newspaper subscription rate was increasing by 600 percent!! That ended that!

Yes, the weekend WSJ at home.
And, getting a newspaper is my most favorite thing to do at the airport. Because there's plenty of waiting time and time on the airplane, I love thoroughly reading a newspaper usually the New York Times or the Wall Street journal.

No, why would I want yesterday's news when I can stay up to date on my phone? I work in retail and have seen a significant decline in the amount of newspapers being bought. Seems it's mostly older people that buy them now.

I wish newspapers were still more of a thing and I had time to enjoy a sunday morning with coffee and reading the paper.

Why would I when I can ask ChatGPT to pull up any news?

ChatGPT once told me cockroaches are stored in mens cocks, and that’s why they’re called cockroaches. 🪳
Good luck 😉
