    Trump is literally bat shit crazy.. He is attacking Amazon, because Bezos owns the Washington Post. Trump is fucking unhinged and a threat to to this country and our consitutional freedoms.

    I just read this. Postmaster General should do it - instantly. Watch how quickly Amazon will use FedEx or UPS, and then watch how much money the post office will lose.

      Amazon already uses both Fedex and UPS. Also Trump is mentally insane and a danger to national securty.

          Look up surepost and get back to me.

          And a FYI.. The post office is not losing money. They are being mandated to prepay pensions for employees who do not even work for the post office yet.

            I use Amazon all the time so I understand this. However, this is simple math which Trump doesn't seem to understand. If the USPS doubles the price for Amazon, Amazon will just pull all of it's business and move whatever they use the USPS over to Fedex and UPS. That would be a huge loss for the USPS.

            On top of this, Amazon would then be able to sue the USPS for violating it's contract.

              You are looking at this as if Trump has any logic behind it. Trump doesnt give a shit what they pay.. He's attacking Amazon because Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post..

              Trump is trying to act like a ignorant little dictator..

                  Where I live Amazon uses their own delivery service AMZL_US

                  They pay local people to deliver 7am to 9pm 7 days a week and we have 2 hour delivery and same day delivery.

                  Here's an ad to be a driver: "Make $18-$25/hour delivering packages with Amazon . Be your own boss. Great earnings. Flexible hours. Make more time for whatever drives you." https://flex.amazon.com

                  They take a pic of the package on your porch everytime they deliver a package and send it to you with their notification of delivery.

                    They can only do that in areas that they have local distribution centers. Usually near major cities.

                      I'm in Orange County an hour and a half from LA and an hour and a half from San Diego

                      Fuck TЯump!

                      The fact that the GOP is letting TЯump blatantly abuse his power to financially injure a major American company like Amazon because of a personal vendetta without stepping forward and doing anything publicly let alone privately shows that we are so close to becoming a dictatorship that something needs to be done immediately. Takes up arms .

                        Is the president allowed to do this shit? Why aren't Republicans howling mad at the president for trying to throw grenades at one of the biggest and most profitable companies in the US?

                          the problem is that he does not know what he is allowed and what not.
                          he just does what he want.

                          obviously he even did not think about what happens if amazon just say "no thanks - good bye"

                          will he send the postmen than to work as coal workers or what ?

                            The fact is Amazon is getting too big and is well on its way to being a monopoly, it should be challenged.

                                    Just dug deeper into that article. Holy shit this is even worse than what I thought. He's been pressuring her on an ongoing basis for quite a while and having meeting specifically about how to fuck with Amazon.

                                    This shit should be criminal if it isn't already. Donald Trump is so fucked up he can invent new crimes as easily as breathing.

                                      It is interesting. On the one hand, I think she's an employee of his. He picks the postal board of directors and they pick the postmaster general. So it seems to me that he can talk to her as an employee. But then the subject matter is questionable, is it an ethics violation?

                                            Use of govt agencies to attack people is both illegal and a ethics violation. Face it, if this was Hillary doing it, youd be calling for her head..

I would respond the same if it were hillary, whom I loath almost as much as trump.

                                                                                              that's all pretty obvious really.

I'm very familiar with labels and NONE of the labels on packages I receive or ship have multi carrier tracking SKUs on them.
