USPS hired a consultant...

[Victor Manta]

USPS contacted a NY firm, asking:

- "What steps must be taken to slow the predictable decline in stamp usage
and how can we best reinvent and reimagine stamp relevance to promote
growth?

- Who will be buying stamps in 2019, 2024, 2034?

- What they will be used for?"

It has agreed to pay $566,000 for the answers to these and similar
questions.

ROTFLMAO !!!

Half a mil from a nearly bankrupt 'private' concern!

Considering that the USPS is doing its very best to -=discourage=-
private mailings, worrying about stamps is the least of their
problems.

With forcing people into alternative communications they've shot
themselves - perhaps fatally!

Our sole PO in 15 miles will soon be reducing its hours, going to
'part-time' staffer driving in with the mail, putting into the boxes,
operating the window for an HOUR and leaving.

Perhaps they should prune the upper manglement, not the actual
workers?
