That or fucking do it already and stop threatening to do it. Run a delivery service as efficient as the post office goes for zero profit. Also let's see you produce some unicorns and turn water into wine while you're at it

Amazon doesn’t have the juice for this. Even if you give your workers an extra piss bottle to try to squeeze a couple extra deliveries. They’ve relied on USPS for a reason. Sorry, Jeff.

Bezos should be stripped of all his wealth, publicly flogged, and then forced to do deliver packages under the conditions he himself forced on his drivers for 10 years as penance.

The gop and other asshats don't believe in doing anything unless it's profitable, much less if it costs anything. The idea of a public service is abhorrent to them.

In my town USPS does not deliver the last mile all mail goes to PO boxes in the Post Office. Fedex, UPS deliver the last mile to our actual homes and businesses. There are millions of US addresses not served by USPS - we hate it when a shipper uses USPS - that means a trip to the Post Office.

When one company has a monopoly on how the product gets to you, they can charge whatever they want. Hope you like the premium fee for not driving ten minutes at most to the post office

As a postal employee who sees how much Amazon already does and passes off to us, they would need to invest SO MUCH more in order to do that. They don't want their employees to piss as it is.

Oh yeah, I can't wait for a truck driver to kill a schoolbus full of kids because he's rushing to get to his next stop and distracted by not having been allowed a bathroom break for the last four hours. Amazon is definitely going to contribute to the highway mortality rates.

The reason they have this capability is because Trump tried to intimidate Bezos by threatening to raise prices on Amazon postage, despite Amazon helping keep the USPS afloat. They had to develop their own delivery system because of this idiotic man. Everything Trump touches dies.

I have a post office box and I live a half mile away. I like the ability to go pick up my Amazon at my convenience. I will end online shopping if I have to switch to someone just throwing shit in the general direction of my front door. I also realize that they don’t care how I feel.

Exclusive? It sure is! Your owner is using the news side of your newspaper in a PR campaign to try and get even more cutthroat price cuts for special boys.
