Dude, I don’t know what to make of you guys anymore. You just argue in circles to be right.
Good of you to humor us by consistently being wrong.

I'll bite. Grump says the US subsidizes Amazon. I think we could agree the tax payer shouldn't have to pay for their shipping.

Basically this article says the formula for calculating shipping costs is outdated which means Amazon is getting a better rate than they really should. Calling that a subsidy is kind of a stretch in my opinion.

The underground press captured some images this week just a couple of blocks outside the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Nashville. Just a few short years ago, this area was full of happy yuppies in Range Rovers:

Sure, that’s why Trump has put those generous postal rates in his crosshairs.

But we’re not witnessing StA and Grumps agitating for the government giving less. They’re perpetually agitating for the private sector to give more.

Bunch of grasshoppers ankle-biting the ants 24/7 in this place.

Like Hastur said, quit giving people with jobs welfare. Then Jeff either has to raise the wage to get people to accept his terms, or those folks have to accept whatever Uncle Sam is handing out as their sole income. Problem solved.

Or ... you know, we can let the grasshoppers lecture the ants on how things should be, or what constitutes “fair” some more. That’s always productive.
Pfft.

I'll go a step further: close down the USPS along with the gibs machine. Auction that shit off, eliminate all--100%--of corporate gibs to Bezos, and let Amazon figure out a new deal on the private market.

Amazon already figured it out. Hire FedEx/UPS to deliver nationally. Hire neighborhood can-shitters to deliver locally. The solution is already in place. Can-shitters can hit a FedEx center for pick up as easy as they hit a post office.
