One of the problems is the Amazon deal - a bad business decision. It costs more to deliver Amazon packages than what Amazon pays. So we are subsidizing Amazon with USPS. Delivery is cheap enough in the metro areas that Amazon mostly has that covered and USPS maybe doesn't take much of a hit either - it's anything outside of a metro area where it costs significantly more to deliver that is the problem.

Interesting. So making "bad business decisions" is apparently the MO of any governmental agency.
Who knew?
Truly, we live in an age of revelations! STUFF WE ALREADY KNEW, BUT NOW IT'S NEWS AGAIN.... for some odd reason.
