President Donald trump today was very active on Twitter. Among other things, he criticized the postal service of the United States (US Postal Service), calling a state company «stupid and poor».
«Why the U.S. postal service, which each year lose billions, so little charge with Amazon and others for the delivery of parcels? This enriches Amazon and makes the postal service poorer and dumber. Need to charge a lot more!», — written by Donald trump.
For almost 11 years, the U.S. postal service operates at a loss.
According to Bloomberg News, Amazon pays the USPS $2 per package which is approximately half of what the largest online retailer pays the companies UPS and FedEx.
According to the New York Post, in the third quarter of 2017, the U.S. postal service reported a net loss of $ 2.1 billion. Debt service stands at 15 billion dollars.
Now Federal regulators deal with this issue, which may eventually lead to increase in tariffs for shipping companies.
As the founder and head of Amazon Jeff Bezos is estimated at $100 billion, Bezos also owns a newspaper The Washington Post, which often criticizes Donald trump.
Why is the United States Post Office, which is losing many billions of dollars a year, while charging Amazon and others so little to deliver their packages, making Amazon richer and the Post Office are dumber and poorer? Should be charging MUCH MORE!
