Made even funnier by the fact that parcels are one of the few places USPS actually makes money and has growing revenue. I've been hearing this argument (Amazon is abusing the USPS) from a ton of my far-right family / acquaintances and I'm sure these claims will just amplify it. With that said, if USPS really isn't making money on the parcels from Amazon they can and should raise their rates. And if doing that makes them no longer competitive with UPS and Fedex than so be it. That's how markets work. In the private sector it is usually illegal to sell for less than your cost to undercut competitors.

Another interesting article that says the post office loses money on Amazon because of the capital expenditure required to ship packages. But it strikes me that eventually that cost will be paid for: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/for-every-amazon-package-it-delivers-the-postal-service-loses-146 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/for-every-amazon-package-...
