They are for petty bourgeois who own a few stocks. Also since the 80's they've the Op/Ed page of record for Randians. So you'll see them dropped around coffeeshops, sure, and on the doorstops of those who think they are made of better stuff than their neighbors, but in investment forums it's more like Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615285628064623043.post-47215692254739339612011-06-23T12:04:52.532-10:002011-06-23T12:04:52.532-10:00We in the West End of Richmond, VA have not carrie...We in the West End of Richmond, VA have not carried WSJ for years. They are carried by some independent couriers (perhaps working for the local newspaper). We have thought this was true for many localities. In our area the post office does not seem to even be aware of the business they are missing - so I guess the WSJ is not the "end all/be all" it is made out to be!!carrierguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741702300734847905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615285628064623043.post-61182554561231266712011-06-22T10:36:26.203-10:002011-06-22T10:36:26.203-10:00It's not too hard to sort the WSJ, most of the...It's not too hard to sort the WSJ, most of them go to direct sort with about 10% have a 3 digit sort...lets think of way to move the papers to the customers.<br /><br />Tom 04074Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615285628064623043.post-54723371580048012602011-06-21T12:44:41.338-10:002011-06-21T12:44:41.338-10:00I use to subscribe to the WSJ.

By the way, I am a rural carrier, and every one on my route has stopped subscribing to the WSJ, they got tired of getting it late, and they don't care who's fault it is. I haven't delivered a WSJ in a couple of years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615285628064623043.post-13511975658172438962011-06-21T11:31:36.463-10:002011-06-21T11:31:36.463-10:00They can pay FedEx daily, what is it now about $18...They can pay FedEx daily, what is it now about $18? hahahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615285628064623043.post-42367109517475297312011-06-21T10:37:28.092-10:002011-06-21T10:37:28.092-10:00All the WSJ and their Conservative readers do is c...All the WSJ and their Conservative readers do is complain about the Postal Service, how it is a waste of money, how it should be privatized, the bloated overpaid workforce, etc etc. Too bad.
