This is good news. Sure we'll lose out on some profit but they're off our backs now. Other private firms have stolen a big chunk of the market because RM is basically a unionised heap of shit rolling down a hill on fire. Their last major revenue line was junk stuffing.

They can now wither away in the private sector silently while no one gives a shit.
