I hope to God Amazon gets BTFO in the next few years. It's nothing but a CIAnigger spying program that costs taxpayer money

With all due respect to the old man, we've not had a Post Office since 1970. It's the United States Postal Service now. It's run like a private corporation with a government charter.
I like the idea of a post Office, actually.

Wouldn't do anything. You're stupid if you think Amazon isn't going to eventually deliver their own packages with their own drivers. They have the money and the infrastructure.

Wow. It's almost like the typo is on purpose!

They do that already.

They'll buy the postal service so all they'll have to do is a minor restructure and paint job.

BASED
CRINGE

we don't call it post office here too (is ded lel no one use it anymore), but change into a logistic services.

Because we the tax payer pay $1.40ish per package just so USPS gets the contract.

You are beyond retarded.

You should know Amazon already does that in Canada, leaf.

What's there to cover? If he's saying the truth?

1.46 loss per package

Postal Employees got screwed a few years back they not really losing money. DHL UPS and Fed ex lobbied to have law changed to have employee pensions fully funded one the day they are hired. remember the bush micheal moore movie. they were getting poloticians to invest in DHL before the gulf war then surprise they were awarded troop mail contract.

*on the day they are hired

And yet people bitch every time they raise the price of a stamp 1ยข or try to end Saturday deliveries. Face it, people profoundly hate the idea of the government being run like a business or maximizing profits.

Do you own a business? My money says no, otherwise you'd know that this is retarded. Amazon will have a small fleet as they do now, but they'll never replace UPS with their own fleet mostly because the way expense deductions work when it comes time to pay taxes.
It's always fun to see the W2 crowd speculate what businesses "will do" and why like they have any idea what goes on behind the curtain.

So who pays the deficit? Is it added to the debt or does the USPS somehow make it up using other sources of revenue?

do you read? there is no current debt they just expecting future debt when they pay current employees pension years from now

>Borderline socialist
>Amazon must pay for their use of services
Are you retarded? Free government services is socialist you stupid head.

OP thinks charging more for a service because you are loosing money is socialism.

The Saturday delivery always gets me. People cry when they talk about ending it while bitching that all they ever gets is junk mail and bills.
People are retarded.

It kind of makes him look stupid, thats why there aren't any Sup Forums threads about it.

They already deliver their own packages. How do you think Amazon Prime Now works?

The post office makes money, they're technically indebted because they have to prepay pensions when they hire someone. The only private/public institution in the whole country that is forced to do this.

This.
The purchase of whole foods wasn't about going into the grocery market, it was about having massive warehouse sized buildings in the middle of every major city. Ready to be turned into a distrobution center when they're ready.

They've been thinking and talking bout this internally. Honestly hope Trump waits to btfo them until I get them to pay for the rest of my degree when I go back to college

User fees to pay for upper class tax / corporate tax cuts. User fees proportionally hurt those of lower income.

Higher USPS will also hurt small ebay sellers.

While he's at it might as get rid of the $800 personal exemption when ordering online from the foreign devils.

finally a voice of reason.. name a buisness that puts a million dollars aside on the day you are hired for your pension.

None, it's retarded. I am pretty Libertarian but the Post Office is pretty low on my radar for government bloat/waste. It's just accounting tricks to make it look like it is failing.

Amazing. I contract drive for Amazon and deliver to the post office. In fact, I just got home now.

I'm torn, on one hand delivery drivers park every fucking where blocking traffic, on the other these are relatively good jobs.

He is proposing the USPS charge Amazon higher than standard postage rates, no? Amazon will just move to their own shipping or use third party carriers exclusively then. Also, given that it's a federal entity, I would imagine postage rates have to be uniform, regardless of the customer. Aren't corporations people know anyway?

What about other online retailers that ship the majority of their products with USPS because it IS cheaper tham FedEx, UPS, at the cost of being slower and less reliable.
