Libtard and saying "fuck you" In 2 posts? ...This will be the last time I respond to you and your nonsensical swings in the dark.
Here's a paragraph for the story you posted..did you even read it?..This didn't even mention Amazon.
"This shipping differential is the product of the U.S. government subsidizing Chinese shipments. The government estimates USPS delivers Chinese goods at a 40% to 70% discount, losing money on each package it delivers."

Have a swell day sportsm60..
LOL. More sarcasm from the local idiot. Why would anyone not be able to go out and vote? Perhaps they are incarcerated, an illegal alien who cannot show legal iD, Dead, or someones pet who has no ID, maybe possibly a totally fictitous person? You should have to prove you have a right to vote. It is not hard to do!
Reminder that a prevalent factor at least for the next 11 weeks is that Tiny persistently lies
From today's country club rally:
Tiny makes a false distinction between "absentee" and other mail-in voting, claiming "I'm an absentee voter."
Florida, where he is voting by mail, makes no "absentee" distinction; it's all vote by mail, no excuse needed, no matter where you are.
This is also the case in 24 other states

President Donald Trump on Monday repeated his belief that Amazon is to blame for the U.S. Postal Service’s demise.
“Amazon and other companies like it, they come and they drop all of their mail into a post office,” Trump said in an interview with “Fox & Friends.” “They drop packages into the post office by the thousands and then they say, ‘Here, you deliver them.’ We lose $3 and $4 a package on average. We lose massive amounts of money.”
The president was asked about concerns that the Trump administration is interfering with the post office in order to impact voting in the November presidential election. The Postal Service has removed hundreds of mail-processing machines across the country and warned dozens of states that it may not be able to process mail-in ballots in time to be counted in the Nov. 3 presidential election. At the same time, it faces widespread mail delays and has seen its financial woes increase as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is calling the House back into session,cutting lawmakers’ summer recess short as concerns grow among Democrats over whether the Trump White House is trying to undermine the Postal Service ahead of the election.
Trump said the post office could solve its financial issues by raising delivery rates to offset alleged delivery costs fueled by online retailers. “This guy is supposed to be so wealthy, so let him pay for it,” Trump added, appearing to refer to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
Amazon declined to comment on Trump’s remarks.
Trump’s comments echoed similar remarks by him in April and launched a series of attacks in 2018, when he claimed Amazon was costing the post office “billions.”
Trump is right that the Postal Service is losing money, but Amazon and other internet e-commerce companies aren’t necessarily to blame for that. Previous analysis conducted by CNBC found Amazon may be saving the post office from financial demise, due to growth in package shipping from online retailers like Amazon. Amazon also relies on a range of carriers to deliver packages, such as UPS and FedEx, and is increasingly building its own network of contracted delivery partners, which now total 1,300 firms.
A major factor behind the post office’s continuing shortfall is a requirement that the USPS fund health benefits for its workers, which costs more than $5 billion annually. Other worker-related expenses, such as workers’ compensation, fluctuate from year to year based on “changes in actuarial assumptions, such as interest and inflation rates, and employee and retiree demographics,” as the USPS said in its 2019 annual report.
The Postal Service has benefited from a surge in package deliveries to Americans who remain indoors because of the pandemic, but it has experienced continued declines in first-class and business mail, according to its latest financial results.

- Trump is right that the post office continues to lose billions of dollars per year, but its package delivery business actually helps it bring in money

Know somebody who has two jobs(not financially needed, but bucket list/goals related) and is still waiting on a check that is usually received in 2 days. It’s been over a week and still hasn’t received it.
This is ongoing for everyone.
The people who say you don’t use the mail for anything.... a lot of people use it to get medication...that alone is a good enough reason. But, receive checks, pay bills/tickets.

He knows shit
why us it the people that do the least can't find the time to register and can't find the time to vote?
How can that be?
Does that make sense to any reasonable mind?
If you want to VOTE FOR LIVING, the least you can do is register in person and vote
All the excuses are nothing more than liberal lies, something they've perfected

I personally have no problem with any aspect of mail-in-voting
Any flaws that might be actually be exploited into an illegal vote would quite logically be seized upon in equal proportion between unethical GOP and unethical Democratic voters
The Florida Sec of State and Supervisor of Elections reported in summer of 2019 that there had been no evidence of any measureable fraud for either the 2018 midterms or the nine previous national election cycles since no-excuse mail-in voting was implemented within Florida effective 1998
They further cited evidence that MIV within Florida has been employed at an approx 60/40 ratio between registered GOP and registered Dem voters
We - along with the other 39 states which have happily employed MIV for 20,30 or more years - are very confident in our statewide system
