Food for thought I reckon..
How come when the USPS implements a rate hike, they simply do not let the old stamps phase out? It seems the printing, labor for distribution, and handling costs of putting the 1 cent stamp into production would actually result in a loss for the USPS. Not to mention the millions possibly billions of dollars of lost productivity for workers to make special trips to purchase the stamps, and to adhere the additional individual stamp. The USPS is a private entity, why don't they simply pull the old stamps off the shelves and begin selling the new stamps with the rate increase at the time of announcement?
....My wife's been telling me, and I finally submit, I have got to rejoin the workforce!
