Thanks to [personal profile] eftychia for the heads-up. If you need to use regular mail to do things with people across the US border, in either direction, this looks like DT-45's people want this to be a problem for you from now on.

That fucker 45 is out to kill off one of the best things in my cesspit of a country. The USPS might be the last remaining major institution that has a commitment to serve everyone.

On July 1st the price of sending a parcel from Britain to the USA rose by an average of 49%, because Trump decided he didn't want to play ball with other countries on postal charges. Nothing he does with the postal services would surprise me right now.

I've known the "Conservatives" have been trying to destroy the post office for a long time since it's tremendously cost effective. I did not know the 2006 bill required 75 years of pension funding! If somehow he manages to get reelected in November and survives a full term, this will certainly destroy the USPS.

I knew about the pension thing, I didn't know it was 75 years worth of pre-funding.  I worked for a pension/actuarial company, so I know something about that industry.
