I bought 6 packs of “forever” stamps 5 years ago as a hedge against future cost increases.

These days, I use 1 stamp a month. ONE stamp. That is it. Everything else is electronic or automatic pay. For the very few bills I mail in such as utilities, I tend to write a check covering 6 months of bills, so I only have to make 2 payments a year. At 0.9% interest rates, I am really not worried about losing the interest over 6 months, which amount to almost nothing.

1 stamp a month. LOL.

95% of my mail is simply junk mail. I would really welcome USPS insolvency and dismantling if it meant no more junk mail.

Does anybody else remember life 30 years ago when there was almost no junk mail at all, or Infomercials, or reality TV, press 1 for English, etc.

Life is not getting better. Technology is, but life isn’t.

GREAT POST ALERT... GREAT POST ALERT

I wonder if every generation remembers theirs as being better.

But I think in stats there is truth.

And if happiness were measured, I think that unfortunately we’d crush today’s generation.

And I wish it wasn’t so.
