U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy warned Americans to get used to “uncomfortable” postage rate increases in the coming years, as the USPS continues its effort to become financially solvent and independent.

During a Board of Governors meeting on Thursday, DeJoy told members that the Postal Service should be prepared to raise the price of stamps in order to cut deficits.
