Post Office Sticks It To Business and Consumers AGAIN!

The post office is raising it's prices again..................... WHAT! The essence of a good joke is as always timing. Another monopoly gone mad, a captive audience, poor service, low moral and government footing the bill for some ancient promise to consumers. We do not need Saturday delivery, the mail could come every other day, as long as it was in good shape when it got there. They could help consumers and especially business with rules and regulations that were friendly and easy to understand. Don't get me wrong, I admire the Post Office most days for what they accomplish, and for the most part they are pretty reliable, but there is just something really off in there business model that gives me hives when I think about it. Perhaps it's the lack or willingness to help, maybe it is too big and the face of the Post Office is just jaded, or we are so used to mediocre services from the government, that it might never change, so why bother? I don't usually get upset when people raise prices but with a rise in mail being sent for the first time in years, and with little changing on the spenders side, what in the world are they thinking? Why don't they create a product and service base that consumers and business actually want? Then you can raise the prices and pay back some of the money that is bleeding out of the system, downward spiral anyone?
