      More like Amazon dumping their unrealistic loads on USPS since they have no infrastructure to handle them. The original contract was for 2 big US cities, but now Amazon wants to expand it to small cities without providing the same support they were required to do for those 2 big cities.

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

          Let me remind you that the current Postmaster General is Louis DeJoy who used to be a CEO of a for-profit shipping company and has no experience in the public sector. And he's known to take bribes.
