Trump: Post Office loses $1.50 on avg for each package it delivers for Amazon
Citation?<p>Follow up questions:<p>1. How much of that is fixed cost that has to be paid (if not by Amazon then by other customers)<p>2. How does -$1.5&#x2F;package for Amazon compare to other shippers? E.g. how much does USPS lose on Walmart?<p>My understanding is the USPS is structurally designed to lose money as a subsidy to society for communication&#x2F;interaction over long distances. I&#x27;m fully in favor of revisiting whether that subsidy is necessary in the modern internet driven age in which border expansion is not a goal. But, picking on Amazon for using the subsidy as intended doesn&#x27;t make sense.
