Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

The price of fuel affects all transportation costs, my friends. Government or private, the costs are still there. Naturally, it is all passed on to you and I.

You can thank the Postal Service for the subsidization of bulk mailers, where they get very cheap rates to mail us all that stuff we not only don't want, but would like to get rid of, in the first place.

That results in high rates for all other classes of mail, which comprise the smallest portion of all mailings.

If you will look closely, at the mail you get, you might observe that even your monthly bills, are mostly bulk mailed. Like everything, big business is getting the deal, and the public/small guy pays the bill.

Yes, shipping rates are high, but you can save a little money by USPS online-they give discounts if you print your own postage and pay online.
