Trump-Amazon feud shadows critical Postal Service report

BY JORDAN FABIAN - 08/15/18 06:00 AM EDT

The Trump administration is expected to release a report in the coming weeks on reforming the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), an event that could revive President Trump’s feud with Amazon.

Trump earlier this year assembled a task force to recommend fixes for the Postal Service’s fiscal woes soon after he accused the online retail giant of abusing its relationship with the USPS.

Business groups worry the task force could recommend an increase in shipping rates, something that could threaten Amazon’s lucrative arrangement with the USPS.

A group of major U.S. shippers sent a letter last week to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who leads the task force, urging him not to raise package rates.

First and foremost the reason why the USPS is in trouble is because of the asshole by the name Tom "fucking" Delay and his republican cronies making the service pay benefits 75 years into the future, not because of some mail service fees, so fuck you.
No other entity in this country has to do this, Amazon, GE, Halliburton and for that matter Steve Mnuchin and his fucking hedge fund, or this fucking traitor walking around conspiring with the Russians....................... ......................so get the story straight.........................

Amazon on the other hand makes and gives Jeff Bezo's over 250 million dollars a day for a man and his hedge fund mentality that doesn't pay shit in wages, and benefits, and charges people fees to become "Prime Members" in Whole Foods for example......................so this fucking task face should understand that the USPS is enshrined in the Constitution, and you cannot privatize it, without a Constitutional Convention.....................
