...And the Post Office wonders why they're losing money...

Apparently, people who watch The Simpsons don’t like to mail letters. According to the Washington Post, the U. S. Postal Service had anticipated it would sell 1 billion commemorative stamps featuring characters from The Simpsons. They sold less than a third of that and ending up destroying 682 million unsold stamps, which had cost them $1.2 million to print.

The post office is losing money because it is legally required to use an irrational pension fund that must cover the pensions of every postal worker they will ever hire by 2030. Blame Congress.
