he U.S. Postal Service signaled plans Tuesday for a rate increase that includes hiking the cost of a first-class stamp from 68 cents to 73 cents, part of an overall 7.8% increase to take effect this summer.
The request was made to the Postal Regulatory Commission, which must approve the proposed increase that the Postal Service contends is necessary to achieve financial stability. If approved, the 5-cent increase for a “forever” stamp and similar increases for postcards, metered letters and international mail would take effect July 14.

They have less mail so they have to raise f=rates. Kind of like the UW university system saying they have to raise tuition because they have fewer students. It doesn't seem to occur to them they would have more students with lower tuition

DENNIS?...To Me, It's Pretty Obvious, You've Probably Never Been In Business Nor In A Business Management Position; Because What You Just Said Is Absolutely TRUE...
But To Remain In Business & Make Profits; IF Business Drops Off, We MUST Increase Prices To Make Up for It....It HAS To Be Done, OR We're OUT Of Business.
Fa-King American Schools Don't Teach SH*T Worth Knowing....
