Temporary, huh?

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.

    1. In the UK income tax was introduced to pay for the Napoleonic Wars. They are still going on apparently.

  4. I 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.

  5. 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.
