  You mean the federal government that can be easily bought? And the contract is secret, so nobody knows what it entails.

    Just keep moving those goal posts.

      Two things can be true at the same time. Nobody is disputing the contract existing or it being profitable for USPS, they got 1,9 billion from Amazon in 2019 from that contract which covered 2 big cities. The issue is it expanding to small cities that don’t have the same requirements the original contract had for the 2 big cities.

      If you don’t see the problem with a random Amazon package being given priority over time sensitive bills or paychecks, you need to reexamine your perspective.

        Then maybe they shouldn’t accept contracts they can’t deliver on 🤷‍♂️
