rammed through some of the fattest postage increases ever last year. Some say to impact Amazon and Bezos. Priority Mail was up about 8-11%, First class up 5 cents - 10% - to mail a one ounce letter. This in an era of low fuel prices and without the prior years' excuse of pre-funding medical care for USPS workers for decades. Have you mailed a package retail pricing at a post office? Online epostage was up similarly.

This is a ripoff. ecommerce got whacked.
