AMAZON/USPS: “Amazon could never replicate the Post Office. The Post Office is bigger than Amazon, by a lot. Hard to believe how big it is. But it also loses billions and billions. Lost $78 billion over a short period, like a 12-year period of time. Something like that. Seventy-eight billion.
Now, we’ll fix it very easily. It can be done in one day. We charge Amazon for use, because it’s part of their model. They think the Post Office is stupid. They think the people in government are stupid…
So my idea is very simple: Amazon has to pay. They can’t pass it on to their customer because they shouldn’t.”
