Thanks for the info, I didn't know the date. Guess my news outlet doesn't find this news-worthy. They should curtail all their ads for shipping packages and maybe they could save some cash. Also, "a penny?", just raise it to 50¢ and get it over with. Now I have to decide whether to invest in 10 books, to save $2.00 over the year, or take the 88 bucks and stock pile food...decisions, decisions:)
I found it relatively difficult, also, to find the date. I guess they really don't want to advertise when rates go up.
I agree with you regarding 50 cents; but that's a huge milestone, isn't it? Two letters for a buck. It's sort of like stores pricing things at $9.99 because it doesn't hit the $10 threshold. One has to wonder if the 50-cent threshold will result in even fewer first-class letters going out. Economics 101 has a nice price-demand curve, if I remember correctly.
