                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Freaking sucks my Family and I have covid. Luckily&nbsp; we are all vaccinated.Sucks my damn job made me take off 10 days<br>With out pay because&nbsp;  I&nbsp; didn&#039;t&nbsp; catch it at work . This freaking sucks rite before&nbsp; Christmas. S Thank God my wife still gets paid wile she&#039;s off.&nbsp; Seems like everytime we finally get all caught&nbsp; up with bills and things are going good for us something allways&nbsp; happens to us financially <br> I go back to work the 23 and cant wait to get back to start making money again. I&#039;ve been working there for seven years can&#039;t believe&nbsp; they are treating&nbsp; me like this. Makes me want to look for a new Job to be honest. I don&#039;t want to start all over again&nbsp; some were else thuogh. Besides having covid&nbsp; my family&nbsp; and I are doing ok we are just happy to all have mild symptoms and just happy to all be alive. I&#039;m thinking about finding a second&nbsp; Job to help catch us back&nbsp; up. It&#039;s&nbsp; Amazing&nbsp;  What&nbsp; 2 weeks of being off work will do to your pocket&nbsp; book. Really&nbsp; makes me appreciate&nbsp; having a job a lot more&nbsp; I tell you that.&nbsp; It&#039;s definitely been a reality check. We will bounce back soon I have faith in that.Sorry for checking&nbsp; back in with so much bad news.You all take care of your self now. Really nice seeing so many&nbsp; familiar faces still around here.&nbsp; :weedpass:]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<b><span style="font-size:14ptpx"><span style="color:green">•	Parcel Select Ground is the biggest news, with up to 58% decreases&nbsp; If you&#039;re okay with 2-8+ day delivery speed estimates, you now have an opportunity to save up to 79% compared to Priority Mail. We do recommend adding insurance when buying Parcel Select Ground, just in case... but if you can plan your shipping ahead of time, this kind of savings could be a game changer!<br><br>•	Dimension-Based Priority Mail Cubic was made even more competitive for the smallest package sizes, where it&#039;s even cheaper than Parcel Select Ground. Although there&#039;s significant increases for most tiers in zones 5-8, the weighted national average is actually hardly changing from the Holiday Rates <br><br>•	Weight-Based Priority Mail is getting up to 31% cheaper than Holiday Rates too, so getting quicker service for larger packages just got up to $16.95 cheaper!<br><br>•	First Class Package is staying the same as the holidays, except for the 1-4 oz range which is only going up by 6-7 cents <br><br>•	Priority Mail Flat Rate is getting 25 to 85 cents cheaper compared to the Holiday Rates, which is more great news.<br><br>•	International is going up in general, with Priority Mail International to Canada being the only exception with rates up to 18% cheaper. Simple Export Rate will continue to be the cheapest international service, but its new rates won&#039;t be announced until the end of December.<br><br></span></span></b>]]></content:encoded>
