It’s not enough that Amazon has profited enormously from the COVID crisis. It now wants taxpayers to bailout the Postal Service so it can continue to rake in massive profits.

They would die without USPS. They set up their distribution warehouses in strategic parts of the U.S. and then they rely on USPS economy shipping methods to get packages to the destinations. If you live in just the right region that's not close enough to one of their warehouses even with their 2-day shipping it can take 3-5 days to arrive. But they'll still charge you prime as a 2-day delivery service. I've only signed up for their trials a couple of times and I found that their prices really aren't that great. You can use certain websites to track product pricing history and buy it only when it's at historic lows. I only buy from there when absolutely no other online stores have it.

I could count on one hand the number of Amazon deliveries received by USPS over the last 18 years. Maybe it's different in rural areas?

It must be a rural thing then. Usually the tracking shows it gets transferred to USPS at the last leg of the journey.

Makes sense as the rural addresses have the highest delivery costs.

And USPS would die without government help. Private entity my ass. It's subsidized therefore lacks the invigorating feedback of the market.
