This week, the increasingly irrelevant U.S. Postal Service raised the price of stamps from 42 to 44 cents (I actually had to google the previous price of stamps, which is something I follow less than my abandoned twitter account). With the ubiquity of email and bike messengers (those hipster BMs are just too cute with their rolled up skinny jeans, sarcastic moustaches and arm scabs)- who even uses the U.S. Postal Service other than people over 60 and homegrown terrorists?
For anyone seriously upset over this increase, chillax- your social security checks will shoulder the burden. Or, for the incarcerated Ted Kaczynskis among us, because stamps are your closest thing to legal tender (along with cigarettes and viscous saliva) think of this 2 cent hike as strengthening the prison economy. But, I'm sure you knew that Mr. K... and I'm honored that you read my blog!
As far as I'm concerned, raising the price of stamps is just another step in the right direction towards preventing the spread of Anthrax.
