Amazon does get special deals through the USPS for deliveries and massive cost cuts for their volume. If I was a gambling man I'd wager trump is going to leverage this into Amazon helping implement warehousing methods and technology they use into the USPS. trump has harped multiple times and used the word 'dumber' which is where i'm basing this off of. I would love to see bezoz update and streamline the USPS for """free""" and we can all reap the benefit of them riding free bucks off the USPS.

You're more right than I had realized. I tried to get tangible data and found a few articles along this line which ended up backing your claims. http://fortune.com/2017/07/16/amazon-postal-service-subsidy/
so citigroup did a analysis that they get 1.46$ subsidy, but it's not due to a special amazon only deal, but the pricing model and the fact they have such a high volume that the math looks particularly favorable toward amazon.

If your right, that would really give a shot in the arm to the USPS. It really is a fucking amazing wonder of America! I live up in the north east and those guys were still delivering in the Nor' Easters we've been getting lately.

Why would adding modern private sector efficiency to the warehousing and inventory management side of USPS be a bad thing? I'm not even sure how you could possibly make that connection.
i just realized you're the faggot posting huffingtonpost links, I'm starting to see the breakdown here
