The postal service is instituting price hikes, including on a parcel delivery system used by Amazon, though the department denies that the increases are due to President Donald Trump’s desire to punish the online giant, according to a Thursday Politico report.

Amazon and other large bulk shippers enjoy special rates with the postal service, so it is not immediately clear how hard it’ll be hit by the hike.

  1. Any controversy regarding Amazon is because Trump is intimidated by Bezos. Any examination of the two reveals what a fraud and huckster Trump is.

  2. I wonder if Trump-Kushner gave the green light to MBS on the Khasshogi plan in part because of Trump’s little penis complex compared to Bezos’ wealth and ownership of the WaPo.

  3. Don’t forget about the Chemtrails, dude.

  4. The Postal Service was created to serve us not to make money.
    It is my understanding that Postal Management are still getting bonuses but are not called bonuses.
    If you know as much about Postal Management as I do,you might find this sad.
    My belief is no one,who works for our governments, is entitled to a bonus.
    Serve or get out.
