Why Pneumatic Tubes Were Shut Down 😮

They are still being used in banks, pharmacies and hospitals

This technology has evolved to a fish tube

It seems like a few tweaks could make that work for transporting people. 🤔

For Those Wondering Pneumatic tubes for cats got shut down mainly because they caused stress and discomfort for the animals. While the idea of sending cats through air-powered tubes might seem fun or futuristic, the loud noises, sudden movements, and confined space can be frightening and even harmful to cats. Some cats refused to enter the tubes, while others showed signs of anxiety after using them. Animal welfare concerns grew, and many pet owners and experts agreed that the systems weren't safe or kind to cats. Because of these risks and growing criticism, most of these tube systems were removed or shut down completely.

Hmmmmm I wonder when they shut this down, what year? Couldn't they just seal the tubes better? It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to do. 🤷‍♂️

Cats are retarded anyway. Send em

Wait “discontinued?” Hospitals and banks use these

Couldn't they just have made the cannisters better?

Might explain why I don't see em as much as I did when I was a kid.

The Jetsons clearly took place in a different timeline than ours
