Some post offices in the US also function as a so called notary public. Basically, they can verify your identity and attest that it's you who sent/did something. This is used quite often for important things that don't have o

And who pays for those miles of fiber? That one customer, because he chose to live there? I assume you understand that it that's the case, Starlink is a much better option as it won't cost them 5 figures upfront

Just to be a pedant, 18.5 % in the US and same in Canada so 37%. I wouldn't call that almost half, it used to be about half before the move (NY at 31.3, 19.7 in Canada).

That is not what's happening here. They're not making decisions. No one is being denied as a result of this. Also, there are many cases in which a visa can expire and you're still allowed to be in the US and even work. As lon
