My friends at the post office are at it again. In the face of declining sales and decreased revenue, the USPS is raising the price of a first-class stamp from 50 cents to 55.

Yup, that’s what you want to do when people aren’t buying your product: raise the price. That’ll make ’em want to buy more of it.

Of course, most other products don’t have a legal monopoly on their enterprise.
