As someone who works in TV, schedulers and media assets/delivery (who would authorise and carry out edits) would not have given 2 thoughts to this especially when the edits were made years ago.

Null and void story.

Don't we already have private posts offices? They're called UPS and FedEx, and they're pretty ho hum and expensive.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It's been a few hours so I don't remember if I saw it on that thread or somewhere else: UPS delivers to UPS for those locations that UPS doesn't get to so...how will that mail get delivered if they kill the USPS?

and what's with the governmental hatred of the USPS? it's been getting shit-kicked for a couple years now.

as a proud USPS employee, it makes no sense at all. We take in zero tax payer dollars, completely self funded.
Republicans have been trying to screw USPS over for years "In 2006, the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act was passed, which mandated an extraordinary burden for USPS. Rather than pay for retiree healthcare costs when incurred (aka what practically every company and other government agency does), USPS was given ten years to prefund healthcare benefits for all its future retirees and account for costs for projected retirees, even those who had yet to be employed, 75 years into the future. No other organization faces this requirement, and it cost USPS $5.5 billion a year in the following decade."

My only guess is because were a strong Union job? :/

I'd say that's probably right on the money. Privatization is an ideological end in itself.
