(Ok...you thought this was going to be a thread about passing gas, didn't you? hee hee :D )

First Gas....now.....STAMPS!!!!!!!!!!! Dang stamp prices are going up, too! What's up with THAT? :mad:

How come my salary doesn't go up?

Except, the stamp prices aren't dictated by supply/demand, whereas oil is supposed to be....

I just saw a piece on the news that the stamp price going up is due to the fact that the price to deliver mail has gone up due to gas! Gas effects EVERYTHING! Yikes!

 

[persee]

Yup. The increased gas prices will cause the prices of produce and dairy products to go up too :(

The only neat thing is that now they're offering stamps that you can buy at 41 cents that are good forever, even if the postage rate goes up. Not that I'm going to go stock up on 41 cent stamps, but it will be nice next time the rate goes up and I don't have to go out and buy a bunch of 2 cent stamps.
