It will also cost more to send a postcard in the United States -- that's going to run you 62 cents, up from 56 cents.
An international postcard went up by 5 cents to $1.70.

Quite extensive writeup on the whole W/X situation, the title suggesting too political of a discussion - I do recommend reading through it, neglecting stances, and just seeing where the projects stand.
To be clear, I do not endorse or judge anything here. It helps getting an overview. In the end, there are too many aspects, and deciding for either solution requires you to consider your personal preferences and priorities.
Soon, there will be no export market left for mass-market models of internal combustion engine vehicles. Some 'premium' car makers may continue to produce niche models for a while, but the mass market will be electrified (EU 2035 or not).

About morbid thriftiness (Autism Spectrum Condition)
As you may have noticed, I am morbidly thrifty. Usually I don't buy stuff that I don't need — and if I decide that I actually need something, I am going to ponder about it for a while, look for value products, and for the best price. And with some luck, I'm going to decide I don't need it that bad after all.
One reason for that is probably how I was raised. My parents taught me to be thrifty, so I have to be. It doesn't matter that, from retrospective, I see that their thriftiness was applied rather arbitrarily to some spendings and not others, or that perhaps they were greedy — spending less on individual things so that they could buy more. Well, I can't delude myself like that, so I have to be thrifty for real. And when I fail, when I pay too much, when I get cheated — I feel quite bad about it.
The other reason is that I keep worrying about my future. It doesn't matter how rich I may end up — I'll keep worrying that I'll run out of money in the future. Perhaps I'll lose a job and won't be able to find anything for a long time, Perhaps something terrible will happen and I'm going to need to pay a lot suddenly.
Another thing is that I easily get attached to objects. Well, it's easier to be thrifty when you really don't want to replace stuff. Over time you also learn to avoid getting new stuff at all, since the more stuff you have, the more stuff may break and need to be thrown away.
Finally, there's my environmental responsibility. I admit that I don't do enough — but at least the things I can do, I do.
[EDIT: and yes, I feel bad about how expensive my new phone was, even though it's of much higher quality than the last one. Also, I got a worse deal because I waited too long.]

Lots of reports of folks, in and out of the media, being suspended, or fired, or cancelled, for the radical, subversive act of exercising their First Amendment rights to speak freely.
