Have you heard about the Obama and Mark Zuckerberg ordeal? In the age of shameless self-promotion (we're all guilty of it), is Facebook becoming two faced? http://bit.ly/hd6HrF
Has President Obama asked Congress to take a 40% paycut and reduce their staffs by 60% to reduce the debt?
If not, why not?
The following has to do with shoring up the financial shortage of our postal service. Can a new 3 tier variable cost postal stamps be established?
Part of the costs for postal service is to bring mail and pick up mail directly to people’s homes or businesses. The highest tier stamp (tier 1) would be set based on the cost of this service. The charge would be at variable prices based partly on the cost of fuel for that month. The prices would be based on fuel prices, vehicles depreciation and manpower costs. You would print these stamps from your computer and be charged that month’s stamps fee. You could purchase these stamps from your local grocery or pharmacy store, as well.
If you like to send your mail from your local grocery or pharmacy store and mail it to community mail boxes, you will be charged at the lowest fee (tier 3.) If you send mail from your grocery store or pharmacy store and mail it directly to someone’s place of business or residence, you will be charge the middle tier (tier 2) stamp prices.
Can a new 3 tier variable cost postal stamp charges be set up? This may be a way to shore up the financial shortage of our postal service. Does this make business sense? If you have something to add to this concept, what will work instead?
David, no disrespect, but your system is almost as confusing as the old terror alert color system.
