I buy forever type stamps, because if the price of stamps go up, one doesn't need to add postage.

Where I use to work, the mailman informed me that the P.O. has too many layers of management. and not enough carriers. They need to streamline their operation, or increase the price of stamps accordingly. I would tend to think of the volumn of mail, they should be able to turn a profit?

With the internet, and people being able to pay their bills online, adds another dimension to their financial woes.

Who knows if the P.O. will be in business in twenty years. They may go the way of newpaper journlism, and books. There aren't as many newspapers, and magazines as their used to be. Just a lot of stuff, that carriers hate lugging around, especially during the Xmas holidays. IMHO
