No Ai Shift and No Structural problems, they just Fired all the Employees that have been working for 60 Years in the Washington Post, yesterday I read the article on other site, I even saw pictures of the Exworkers and they are just very OLD people, they dont want those old people to die in the Washington Post Offices, thats all, its a Preventive decision to avoid legal problems and future Tradegies and Scandals.
