Waste of resources

Rico says that the whole delivering-the-paper-at-dawn-every-day thing will go the way of Newsweek. As it is, the print, fold, and deliver via vehicle routine is a ridiculous waste of trees, energy, and gas (and, on days like today, plastic bags because of the rain), and won't be missed, except by a bunch of papermaking and printing companies. Fortunately, all Rico's friends from the old days in the print and paper businesses, like Hume Crawford, the Dammeier boys, Paul Danchik, Brian Fried, George Gananian, Phil Kelly, Ron Hamacher, and Hansford Ray are even older than him and will soon be, if they're not already, retired.
