For birthdays, holidays, etc., any mailed presents I do are pretty much just through Amazon. Flowers to mom through online flower services.

For about ten years, I only used one stamp a month to mail a rent check. Once I bought a house, the mortgage just gets auto-deducted.

I honestly don't think I even have stamps in the house. The only thing I can think of that's been outgoing in the past few years is my ballot, which doesn't need a stamp.

Birthday cards, sympathy cards, a couple local bills because if I pay the bill on line they charge me more as well if I have it auto withdrawn.

Like a $2.50 fee to auto-deduct/pay online. They got rid of it, because people were totally baffled.

...but although I am not a stamp collector, I do buy panels of stamps that I just love, like John Lennon, Marvin Gaye, Edmonia Lewis, and Elvis Presley (for my best friend). You can bet I will buy at least one panel of RBG.

Don't get used either. I live in a rural place, the USPS is a vital service here and so I support it. as I can.

When the SHTF, we can all fall back on the fact that the Postal Service has a long tradition of protecting both the cover and contents of mail. Mail protections are grounded in the 4th Amendment, federal criminal and civil statutes, postal statutes and regulations, and court decisions.

18 USC Ch. 83: POSTAL SERVICE - U.S. Code

And more

§ 1701 (obstruction of mails generally); 18 U.S.C. § 1703(b) (opening,destroying, or detaining mail without authority); 18 U.S.C. § 1707 (theft of property used by postal service); and 18 U.S.C. § 1711 (misappropriation of postal funds)

And not just to Americans. This was from a couple of years ago.

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — The Glasgow City women’s soccer team will wear Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s name on their jerseys this season in honor of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice, the club said Wednesday.

The Scottish league champion said Ginsburg’s name will appear on the left sleeve of the team’s jerseys, which will be unveiled before the season kicks off next month.

“A pioneer, feminist icon and role model, her work, rulings and dissenting opinions have paved the way for justice, equality and civil liberties,” club manager and co-founder Laura Montgomery said.

Miss her wisdom incredibly.

But our Post Office is too small in the Keys so I have to get them online. Probably will be the same for RBG stamps.
