Looks like the Postal Service is at it again, raising rates from 68 cents to 73 cents.

If approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission, the change would take effect in July, raising the cost of mailing services products by nearly 8%.
Stamp prices alone have soared 36% since 2019 when they used to cost 50 cents. The Postal Service last raised First-Class stamp prices by two cents in January, just a few months after it raised prices three cents in July 2023.

I’m not sure if they realize that there is a good chance that rate increases may drive people to “pay on line” or “pay by phone” services.
Perhaps we could have Jerry Seinfeld take charge?
