WASHINGTON —
It could cost you to ship holiday packages this year via the U.S. Postal Service.
The postal service announced it filed notice Wednesday with the Postal Regulatory Commission regarding a temporary price adjustment for key package products for the 2022 peak holiday season.
What that temporary increase really means is us deplorables will be paying extra to ship packages to relatives, while Amazon will be paying their standard contracted rates.
Just like the "temporary" tax on phone calls enacted to pay for WWI, which was finally repealed 100 years later.

In the UK income tax was introduced to pay for the Napoleonic Wars. They are still going on apparently.
DeleteFuck that, ever since Amazon contracted the USPS, UPS and FedEx, their all unaffordable.
DeleteNothing is more permanent than a "temporary" government ANYTHING.
DeletePostal service will say that temporary hike was so successful we're going to make it full time.

Nothing is more permanent than anything the government says is temporary!
ReplyDeleteI lived in 1971 at Fort Monmouth, NJ in barracks built in 1940 to last 10 years. And when I went back in 1974 they were still using them.
ReplyDeleteStill there when I was TDY in the 90s.
