      <description>&lt;P&gt;Guess postage and shipping cost will be going up again this year, maybe by a lot.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://about.usps.com/newsroom/national-releases/2024/1114-usps-reports-fiscal-year-2024-results.htm#:~:text=The%20net%20loss%20for%20the%20year%20under,year%2Dover%2Dyear%20increase%20in%20non%2Dcash%20workers'%20compensation%20expense.&amp;amp;text=Marketing%20Mail%20revenue%20increased%20$292%20million%2C%20or%201.9%20percent%2C%20compared%20to%20the%20prior%20year" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;USPS- U.S. Postal Service Reports Fiscal Year 2024 Results&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Seems now it is the unfunded obligations of pension plans that are the big culprits - both CSRS and FERS.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;From the USPS -&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;The net loss for the year under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) totaled $9.5 billion, compared to a net loss of $6.5 billion for the prior year, an increase of $3.0 billion primarily attributed to the year-over-year increase in non-cash workers’ compensation expense. &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Over 80% of our current year net loss is attributed to factors that are outside of management's control, specifically, the amortization of unfunded retiree pension liabilities and non-cash workers' compensation adjustments.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am really beginning to wonder if our government knows how to add and subtract.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
