People want the government to provide services efficiently yet the second anyone suggests not doing things the most expensive and outdated way possible everyone loses their minds.
Are you all accelerationists or just the no give only throw dog?
This isn't about efficiency - if they were just digitizing it that would be fine. Getting rid of the originals in addition is a recipe for disaster

Personally I'd rather just not cut government funding to the bone and force them to to do things like this and sacrificing long term archiving on the altar of efficiency.
