The United States Postal Service has announced that the price of a First Class stamp will rise to 41 cents this month.
I don't have a problem with that. My complaint is much bigger. I don't understand why the post office still exists.
First-Class Incompetence
Forty-one cents to send a letter anywhere in the country doesn't strike me as extreme.
I'm much more bothered by the long lines at the post office, the clerks who snarl at me, and the letter carrier who brings me Greg Albion's mail about every third day.
Who is Greg Albion? And if I'm getting his mail every third day, who's getting mine?
