I have heard of people buying these forever stamps in huge quantities, as a hedge against inflation. Even if you don’t need to use them, you should be able to sell them for 5-10% less than first-class postage in the future.

Of course, the USPS could at some point say: “Forever expires next week.” and kill the value of your stamps...

I was glad to see that the new 44 cent Purple Heart stamps were already being issued. Seems there has been a delay in getting the PH ones up to tne new rate, when they have increased postage in the past.

The thieves edge the price up a cent or two at a time, the frog in the hot water method. Crooks, making our money cheaper and hurting the economy by increments.

I bought several hundred forever stamps last month. I meant to buy more before the price rise, but I guess it’s too late, unless you have a P.O. that’s open Saturday mornings.

I don't use the USPS at all anymore.

Heard on the radio that the IRS will only communicate with taxpayers through the USPS and I don't want the IRS communicating with me at all under any circumstances.
