    First off, all states are important in 2020, as this is when republican state legislators get to further gerrymander their districts.

    Secondly, USPS is near insolvency, largely as a result of politically mandated postage prices.

      What is up with the numbers in that article? That's an impressive number; more than three times the number of people living in the US! 25 billion + 25 billion = 25 billion?

      What is up with the numbers in that article?

      To do so would deepen our nation’s economic crisis and eliminate an important lifeline to the 1 billion individuals who receive lifesaving prescription deliveries

      That's an impressive number; more than three times the number of people living in the US!

      The bipartisan board of governors appointed by President Donald Trump asked Congress to provide the Postal Service with $25 billion in emergency appropriations to offset coronavirus-related losses; a $25 billion grant to fund “shovel-ready” projects to modernize the Postal Service; and access to $25 billion in unrestricted borrowing authority from Treasury.

      25 billion + 25 billion = 25 billion?

          Oh, actually my bad on the $75 billion. The semi-colons threw me off, but I see now it's 25 + 25 + 25.
