- The bill only affects the name of a single USPS facility.
- The change will likely primarily affect people who use or work at this post office facility.
- Residents of St. Clair, Michigan, may experience some effect due to the renaming in terms of local acknowledgment or address changes.
- This will not affect postal services for the region.
- The impact is localized to a single community and does not affect a large population on a regional, national, or global scale.
Reasoning
- This policy is purely symbolic, as it only changes the name of a specific USPS facility. Its direct effects on individuals' self-reported wellbeing are likely minimal, if any.
- Given the minor nature of the policy, the impact and duration on people's everyday lives is expected to be very low, affecting mainly those personally connected to Corporal Jeffrey Robert Standfest or those directly interacting with this facility in St. Clair, Michigan.
- The overall population affected is small, confined largely to the St. Clair area. Even among them, personal impact will vary greatly based on individual connection or frequency of post office use.
- Budget considerations are not a significant factor as administrative costs for a naming change are usually low and within the specified budget.
- The wellbeing scores before policy implementation are unlikely to change dramatically as a result of this policy; thus, any difference in scores is expected to be primarily due to personal factors.
