It's all about Jeff Bazos and Amazon using the Post Office for the "final mile".

Concede that, such would fit entirely within his, "You don't Love me so I Hate you" M.O.
..and since, Obsession is not dedication (mayhap my only Original koan) ... Simple IS as SImple DOES.
(Ludicrous though that situation be), permanently damning the dis-US as a Failed State, worldwide ..and probably [taken in-toto]
greatly tipping the Scales towards --> first, Speciescide; secondly as-leads-to Planeticide:

Can anyone 'imagine-as-fact', that: ONE malevolent psychotic-Simpleton biped--with aid from legions of a {former 'political party'--morphed-into-a-Cult)
COULD precipitate, mewling and puling: such a despicable-Finis to (possibly all Life) ... on the only-Known-fershure spot which once had it?

Could anyone imagine ...
... that a failed Austrian painter with a persecution complex and a gift for public speaking could precipitate what *he* did?

Nah!
CBS News:The 2006 law also mandated that each line of business within the postal service set its prices at least high enough to break even. In other words, for the postal service to lose money on package delivery would be against the law. As mentioned in the article, their problem is pension and health costs. Under a 2006 law, it must pre-fund 75 years' worth of retiree health benefits. Neither the government nor private companies are required to do that. They would be even worse off without Amazon business. Alex

Yeah . . .

Isn't it a funny coincidence that the blatant lies you spread are always blatant...
...right-wing lies?
Some people might take that as a sign: If their political beliefs can't be supported without spreading blatant lies all the time, maybe those political beliefs are wrong and should be re-evaluated.
But that would take both brains and at least a shred of moral decency. The best you can hope to claim is that you lack only one of them. Which one are you going to go for? --
