FUCK CBS AND FUCK THESE COMMERCIALS

The first class stamp i STILL one of the best deals in America!

If a business fails in the free market, it is because it is no longer useful enough to the people to be used. It isn't good or bad for society, it just happens. Still sort of sucks, though.

@onebaud FedEx and UPS charge a minimum of around $15 to send something, and if your bills came that way the utility would just tack the added cost on to your bill. Then you would have to pay another $15 to send them the check. So much for the private sector being more efficient.

The USPS' main problem is that they don't charge enough. If the cost of a 1st class stamp was doubled to 88 cents, it would still be an utter bargain compared to the private options.

@DushonMandick23 I am ecstatic to see a postal employee reveal his true colors. Please don't go to work with a machine gun tomorrow. Whenever a post office employee goes "postal" a lot of his postal co-workers are casualties. They have two speeds, stop and reverse. It is like shooting fish in a barrel.

RIP Andy Rooney (1919-2011) . I will miss your wisdom from your books and 60 Minutes commentaries.

@mailchick3508 You are so dry the crabs carry canteens. Screw you and all the useless baboons who pretend to "work" with you. I don't trust the post office retards as far as I can throw them. I pay my bills online and use other services to deliver packages. If it wasn't a felony I would pound my mailman to a bloody pulp. I get mail for everyone in my neighborhood except myself. Then I bring it back to the post office to complain to a supervisor. They just scratch themselves and wonder why.

@haruspex84 I agree, but with that method I cannot backspace and correct mistakes. Not for me.

Just remember, trees for most lumber and paper are farmed. When the demand drops, that space gets used for some other commercial purpose, or just neglected until it becomes viable to continue production, often resulting in fewer trees. Not to mention the myriad of other sources of paper: bamboo, hemp, flax, etc. You should try picking up a nice fountain pen and writing a few letters, changes the process entirely. There's just something visceral and personal about a hand written letter.
