I agree with the last sentence, though. |
If the USPS had just made a deal with Amazon where the giant gets a bulk discount, I'd be fine with that. But USPS made a deal with Amazon which does not work for the Post Office's numbers to be where they need to be, so the USPS keeps both crying to Congress and raising the rates on everyone else's shipping. Meanwhile, my taxes go to make sure the Post Office can get sweetheart deals on financing and keep their pension fund huge and powerful.
Expecting government law enforcement to also help them police their own site is worse, but the government is not supposed to be a branch of Amazon.
