Paranoid thought... Missouri has passed one of the strictest abortion restrictions in the country. Could UPS be quietly tightening restrictions on shipping there to cooperate with the state's laws? Are they complicit in crushing women's rights for the sake of their business in that, and perhaps in other states?

Jeb, your questions open an interesting subject. I don't know when UPS started requiring a photo ID to ship a package to a retail outlet, but I've found that the policy might have begun in 2010 in response to a security issue when printer cartridges headed for the United States were discovered to contain explosives. This said, in this day and time, unfortunately your comments have more than a half chance of being valid!

This is how democracy disappears, in seemingly innocuous bits and pieces until it’s all gone and people wonder “what happened.”

Your comment reminds me how important it is to give power to candidates who care about the local and state legislative details. We still have the vote and it still counts, despite gerrymandering. Thank you, Ken.
