I found the checkbook, blew the dust off the thing, and scrawled with a pen the payee and the amount. I’m going to march through the steps on this process so that today’s readers will know what to do should the occasion ever arise in which you have to send a letter with a check to the government. In the course of doing this, I recalled a technique for mailing letters that was once widely in use. So far as I could tell, they wanted me to send a check in the mail, using the postal service, so this is what I set out to do. Perhaps not coincidentally, today I received a letter from the government saying I owe them a few extra dollars. (Yes, it’s a strange system, but, hey, it’s government.) The postal service - yes, it still exists - lost another $1.5 billion in the first quarter of this year, mostly due to paying out its astounding liability to pre-fund the legions of people who will, in the future, will no longer work there.
