[quote=afx114][quote=sdrealtor]I agree but its too good of deal and uncessary.[/quote]
Yeah, it’s too good of a deal.. which is why it’s ironic that people complain about prices going up on one hand and then complain about terrible service on the other. You get what you pay for. If you want better service, expect to pay higher prices. Isn’t that how it works? Though I agree flu, just because prices go up it doesn’t necessarily mean that service quality does as well. In an ideal world it would. I personally have never has a problem with the USPS (and I use it a lot) and I find the prices reasonable, so perhaps I am just biased.[/quote]
I guarantee that increasing prices isn’t going to make the service any better in the public sector. Because lacking any meaningful competition, there is little incentive for the USPS to actually improve. That clerk taking his/her candy-axx time at the counter and taking a coffee break when there’s a line 2 deep, I’m sure would be unheard of at the Fedex/UPS store….
What these postage increases will help, though, is fatten those pensions.
Unrelated. Water is another great example.. For so many months, we were told to conserve water. And when people actually did and the water usage went down, water co. decides to raise rates???Hmmmmmmmmm…..
