The USPS had a choice -- give a discount or lose millions in revenue to competition. The postal service gives discounts for volume business. Amazon ships mostly through package-delivery companies due to free tracking, reliable service and low rates. UPS gives a 60% discount to Amazon last I heard. They are literally keeping these delivery companies in business and keeping our rates from going up too much.

I thought our taxes funded the USPS because the workers are paid by the government. I'm surprised to learn otherwise. I'd think Amazon would use the USPS much more if the tracking were free as well as insurance. They need to work out a deal where both parties win. The post office needs to implement better and easier methods of adding tracking and insurance as those forms are a pain to fill out by hand. Make it simpler for us and business to add those in and business would grow.

Trump doesn't like Bezos as he's jealous Bezos isn't bankrupt and seemingly is well-liked. He wants to be top dog in the business world but others are higher up the ladder.

Next he'll go after Bill Gates
