The reason the auto industry charges more for an SUV than a sedan is because it takes more material to build an SUV than it does a standard sized car. The cost is not due to the enlarged cargo space. They don’t say “You can take more stuff with you, so we’re charging you more.”
The phone company does not price your calls according to the importance of your conversations. No matter what you say, it all is the same price.
So, why then does the post office charge more to mail a letter than to mail a postcard? They travel the same distance and are carried along by the same means. Why the discrepancy?
I
wonder if there has ever been a Dear John post card. Sorry, I changed topics a bit, but a postcard would seem quite harsh.
