Just raise postage to 75 cents and stop with the scare tactics. Give the people the services they demand.

Even at 75 cents, it's still a bargain to send a letter 2,500 miles.

I'm surprised they even deliver mail. I thought by now they would just open every letter,
scan the document and reprint it at the destination and deliver it from there.

It's not like there is privacy any more.
