I wonder if you could even get tubes installed nowadays. You would probably have to spin up a bespoke company to install them, hiring a bunch of people who’ve never done it before and training as you go, and then everyone would lose their job at the end of the process.
Founding a tube-based startup with a silly name missing a letter in it like Tubr or something, and you’ve gotta pay a subscription to keep access to your tubes, but you can send packages through them to other Tubr subscribers
Nah. Hospitals and certain labs still build new tube systems to move samples or radioactive material around, and some stadiums actually use them to do money drops. They’ve just largely been replaced in most office buildings by email, since the things usually sent in office towers were usually just papers.
Hospitals use tubes all the time. Whole buildings networked with tubes! Next time ask a nurse to see one. Or go to the lab, they give less of a shit lol
I was so disappointed when I found out a lot of the old office buildings in my city had those tubes and they tore them all out
I always wanted to send something in a tube and I never got a chance

Just like building railcars in the US.

You and a friend have to change your names so you can make the spunky new mail tube startup, 2-Bueller

Fewer people would die
Probably
I worked at a credit union in college and got to use tubes DAILY.

I have used the tubes, it is even cooler than you think!
Tubes
Well, you’re on the internet. And it’s pretty much just a series of tubes.
