Why didn't those fuckers just make it an even $ 0.40 and leave us alone for a year?
Better yet, how about they make it an even $ 0.50 and leave us alone for 2 or 3 years. I remember as a kid it was a big deal when the USPS raised their rates. Now it's so damn often it we don't think twice about it. |

Boy, they really publicized this one didn't they? I bought three books of stamps last month and they never said a word. Nor were there any signs in the post office.
Might as well raise it to 50 cents so we wont' have to buy stamps for a while. |

You can buy 2 cent stamps in the meantime. I only have 1 37 cent stamp.
I called up USPS and they said they wouldn't even have 39 cent stamps for awhile. WTF, over. |

I bought the new stamps last week. They say "First Class" on the stamp but don't have a denomination. So, technically they might not have 39 cent stamps but they have first class stamps that cost 39 cents. |

DAMN!
I thought it started on the third!!! I already wasted two 2 cent stamps adding them to 37 cent stamps! Well, one is maybe salvagable. No Expert |

Thank God for e-mail and phones. I never mail anything anymore except the occasional oddball check.

This increase was actually mandated by congress. They required the USPS to have in escrow I think, $200 million or so. To be spent on: TBD.
