A Rant: Stamps

So apparently it is possible these days, in the days of constant television, e-mail, internet, cell phones, free flowing conversation and information, to slip through the cracks and be completely out of the loop.
Recently I found out the United States Postal Service had increased the price of stamps, again. One stamp is now 39 cents. This increase is but two pennies more than the old stamps. However, my nice sheet of 37 cent stamps is bunk because they are too small of a denomination to mail a letter, a bill, or anything. Oh well, you say, its not a big deal, just start buying the new stamps or buy two cent stamps and use up the old ones. Great fricking idea USPS but you changed this stamp price 9 days ago. Since then I have sent a bill and a check through the lovely mail with a stamp totaling 37 cent. Super.
When did the country start to suck with delivering the country's residents important information? How about letting us know around Christmas, how about a quick e-mail or a banner on Yahoo!. But no, I had to overhear a conversation of my roommate and go to usps.gov to see a miniscule ad that say 39 cent stamps now in effect.
Here is my 2 cents on the matter, take my two extra cents and shove it USPS.
