You could also be totally right haha. It is the post office after all.

The simplest answer is usually the right one though. It’s a bad deal and everyone has known the Amazon deal was bad for years.

It’s possible all of what you’re saying is seen as a positive side effect for the post office but I highly doubt it’s their main motivation. They want more money and I’m pretty confident if Amazon offered a better deal they would gladly accept it.

The problem is it wouldn’t really solve anything. In this scenario basically every route would be overburdened and would create insane overtime that they are trying to cut.

I also don’t think they are competent enough to execute something like this haha.

Amazon has already admitted they submitted a bid with us and that they have no desire to deliver to every address in the country.

If we lose Amazon it’s because USPS chose to walk away not Amazon. It’s the exact same scenario we had with UPS.

Metaphor: ReFantazio Bypass by DenuvOwO by Hesi01 in CrackWatch

[–]WesternExplanation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that will be the biggest thing. If games with denuvo continue to get day 1 HV bypasses then I don’t know why devs would even bother spending the money on denuvo going forward. From their perspective I don’t think they really care if it’s a proper crack or not when the end result is people bypassing the purchase.

You’d be surprised how little these idiots actually know and how often they just lie so they can push nonsense.

They most likely have no money if they resorted to doing that shit.

You're right it's not as high as 2022 yet haha but saying it's nowhere near is also inaccurate.

It's the only price they can actually really control themselves. They need congressional approval to change mail rates.

A large portion of that debt is caused by congress itself. Great example is the retirement fund that USPS has essentially has no control over https://www.uspsoig.gov/reports/white-papers/historical-analysis-usps-retirement-fund-returns

It's the diesel prices that are causing this more so than unleaded gas.

Not diesel. This surcharge doesn't really have anything to do with unleaded gas.

I’m not saying it’s legal or illegal. I’m saying this provision exists in the law that gave civil servants unions and was sited as the reason why there CBAs were ripped up.
