podfeet@wikipedia You’re right about the rabbit hole - but a super interesting and educational one. Who knew?
Alyson Decker@wikipedia I’m very curious what the cost was. Was it per pound? Based on size? Based on mobility? Did they feed them?

🇨🇦 Jason Bouwmeester 🍁@seth @wikipedia fun tidbit for sure, I read about this a couple of years ago. Imagine mailing your kid somewhere to go visit the grandparents or other relatives lol.
@JustAnotherJay @wikipedia LOL can you imagine the liability? Hahah!
Charles Herold@wikipedia The world's never been the same since the deep state stopped us from our God-given right to mail our children.
RodneyPetersonTalentAgency@wikipedia it still exists today. Two of my neighbors boxed themselves up to be shipped to Florida for Spring Break. Instead, the garbage truck picked them up and took them to the local dump. There’s a documentary about it on a show called Beavis and ButtHead.
Bodling@wikipedia White folk being copycats.
qu0th the void@wikipedia I wouldn’t print a car but I would email a child.
Brandon 👏👏 Brandoff 👏👏@wikipedia Okay, but how much did it cost to ship a 49 lb. child in 1913? Were the rates reasonable?

Neptune@wikipedia when you are too poor to afford transport, then you mail your children to school
