UGH! New US Postal Rates...Again!

[grayhank]

I'm going to have start looking for a job if all these rate increases keep up...between gas, Ebay and the US Post Office (again) starting May 12th, I'm going broke!

Making ebayers (buyers and sellers) bend over at least twice a year has been a regular thing with USPS lately.

With the Consistant Rise of Gas Prices,.. everything else is going up too.

[toys2cool]

this sucks ***!! but yeah i agree BK,it's defintely the rise in gas

[Mikey]

We should just invade them high gas price countries and take the gas.

What are they going to do ?
Throw camels at us ?

[BlackKnight]

I dunno... Maybe I'm an Idoit... But I don't think Gas Prices need to be this High... It's ALL Greed.. "When you Have something that everyone Needs,.. they will come & Pay" . imo.

We don't have to, we got good oil supplies in this country that can be had if exploration was allowed.

Everything's going up except my paycheck. I've already scaled back on things, less comics, no cable, not too many Mego purchases (I'm on the fence on the Captain Action stuff from Castaway).

Part of the problem is supply side. China and India are using a lot of oil for their economies. There is a lot of speculation going on as well. People wanting to make a quick buck buying oil commodities. Usually, these speculators have their rear ends handed to them eventually. I suspect that there will be more short term pain but market conditions will take care of itself and oil prices will drop back to somewhat more reasonable levels.

Oh come on, not again
Whatever advantage us Europeans have because of the weak dollar is completely gone when you add shipping costs
