Mailbox

Typical Post Office Mailbox

The existing PO Box contract was extended for six more months at a ridiculous cost of $56 for the period. When the PO Box at the Bethel Street Post Office was first acquired many moons ago, the cost was $22 for six months. The current austerity measures had called for the termination of the contract at the end of this month. However, the increasing confusion caused by numerous botched strategic plans has resulted in procrastination. After all, the PO Box provided a thin layer of anonymity at best.

The police state of empire now requires verifiable street addresses for all forms of identification including driver’s licenses. Post Office addresses are no longer accepted. Thus, the feasibility of paying increasing amounts of money to continue the contract is less than negligible. So, there is now a little more than six months of time to make any and all address changes to that of the “old folks home.”
