The USPS has implemented an aggressive price hike, raising the cost of first-class US mail stamps from 68 cents to 73 cents. This is part of a financial overhaul to make the postal service self-sustaining. The price increase is expected to generate $44 billion in additional revenue by 2031. USPS has been facing significant financial losses and is projected to lose $160 billion over the next decade. President Biden has provided $50 billion in financial relief to support USPS. The Postmaster General has also agreed to halt further consolidation of processing networks. #USPS #financialoverhaul #pricehike...
