LIMITED EDITION - Branded Stamps to Aid United States Postal Service (USPS).
John Oliver teamed up with Stamps.com to release a special limited-edition collection of stamps themed around Last Week Tonight, a late-night talk show and news satire program that airs on HBO.
The stamps feature quirky characters that have appeared on the show, including a free-spirited otter mascot named Chiijohn.
On the May 10th Last Week Tonight episode, John Oliver focused on what he described as the financial trouble the USPS is facing. The coronavirus pandemic has had a strong negative effect on the financial stability of the agency, he said. Even before the COVID-caused issues, the USPS was experiencing significant financial difficulty, Oliver maintained. That, in part, is the result of the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, which mandated that the Postal Service prepay healthcare benefits to retirees over a 50-year time period, with $5 billion being set aside annually through the first 10 years.
“What they badly need is an infusion of funding as soon as possible,” Oliver opined. “And not only should we be demanding that they get that, Congress should also take a look at undoing some of the more onerous terms in that 2006 law.”
