Amazon doesn’t want the blame for the Post Office going under
Amazon is going on the defensive after a report from The Wall Street Journal revealed that the ecommerce giant plans to slash shipments with the United States Postal Service, which said this week that it’s running out of money. Amazon claims it’s been working with the USPS for over a year on a deal “that would bring them billions in revenue,” but the agency walked away at the “eleventh hour” during negotiations last December. “One easy action, increasing our borrowing authority, buys us time… Time that we can use to best determine what the Postal Service should do to best serve the American public,” Steiner said, according to The New York Times.
