7. Does this have something to do with their sorting equipment?

I was hearing late last week or into the weekend that this has recently become a big problem. Where are these missing zip codes? Are they primarily in rural areas or in poorer areas within large metropolitan cities with large black and brown populations in a wide centralized area. For example, I live in Dallas, and I would describe a couple of them as South Oak Cliff and Old East Dallas, running down into Mesquite-Seagoville, though the AA and Hispanic population is widely dispersed throughout the city of Dallas generally.

I think there needs to be a Congressional investigation into this posthaste. It sounds to me like they may have targeted certain areas to purge mail delivery to specifically targeted communities much like they've strategically targeted voter purges.
