Change of Address? Shop Lowe's!

So, I received a letter from the United States Postal Service "Change of Address Security Division" pertaining to the mail of the person who lived in this apartment prior to my living in it. The purpose of the letter, per the letter, is "to confirm that this request to forward mail is correct." Simple enough. The person no longer lives here so their mail will be forwarded to a new address. Huzzah.

The end of the letter informed me that "it is important that we work together to ensure proper mail delivery". And I must agree with the sentiment of that statement. It is crucial that we all work together to ensure proper mail delivery.

The problem is what else was in the envelope.

You see, the letter from the United States Postal Service contained two pieces of paper. One informed me of a pending change of address request. The other was a flyer for Lowe's containing a coupon affording me $10 off my next $50 purchase (good through January 15, 2009).

Reflect upon that for a moment.

The United States Postal Service, in mail forwarding notifications, is sending out Lowe's coupons.

So I have to ask. Is the United States Postal Service a front for Lowe's? And if so...does this finally explain why Libertarians hates the Postal Service so much?

But.. But.. Libertarians secretly LOVE Lowe's....

All that timber and piping to build their secret independent nation-state-treehouses?

unless they're to a man, Home Depot Men...

Unknown said...

No, the Lowe's coupons when moving are a godsend. Moving always incurs costs related to buying things for one's house to make it work for themselves. Tina and I both have received these coupons each time we have moved for the last 3 years, and we have used each and everyone of them. When people move they need things like lighting, shelving, paint supplies, etc, and Lowe's supplies these things, so it works out well.

_J_ said...

I think the issue is more that the United States Government is giving out coupons to Lowe's and not, say, ACE Hardware or Home Depot or another hardware chain.

We have seperation of Church and State. Does that not imply a seperation of Hardware Store and State?

Mike Lewis said...

i am sure the Church of Satin has something to do with this.

Unknown said...

My guess is that the Post office makes money off of this and has some sort of bidding process for different home improvement stores to get their coupon in there.

_J_ said...

How can we have a Free Market system if the post office endorses particular home hardware retailers?!

Andrew said...

"Church of Satin"???
Satin?

_J_ said...

I'd rather attend the Church of Velvet.

Unknown said...

I can't imagine the post office specifically endorses the Lowe's as much as all companies were probably given a chance to bid to put their coupon in the packet, and Lowe's one. No different than the government outsourcing road repairs, building construction, or any other part of the infrastructure.

Roscoe said...

Really, a work up involving the Phrase, "In The Name of Our Dark Lord, Satin, We Beseech Thee" would have sold the joke.
