Trump throws Amazon under the delivery truck in debate over U.S. Postal Service econmics - GeekWire

Panzer was shaken out of his kitty bed this afternoon by thunder and lightning coming from the Catosphere. Jumping into the Panzermobile, our brave kitty pilot headed into the storm. Following all the noise took him to the GeekWire site. There he discovered a post about President Trump, the postal service and Amazon was causing all the ruckus.

The post by Todd Bishop says U.S. President Trump has stated again he wants the United States Postal Service (USPS) to start charging Amazon more money to deliver the company's packages. Amazon has a contract with USPS to deliver the company's packages. According to federal regulations, if the money collected from Amazon's contract doesn't cover USPS's costs for delivery, the contract will be cancelled. The contract hasn't been cancelled, so USPS must already be charging Amazon the correct amount to deliver the company's packages.

Can somebody explain it to me?

Panzer says, "It makes no sense to me."

Trump wants to go after Amazon - Business Insider

Panzer was shaken out of his cat bed by all the booing and hissing coming from the Catosphere. Jumping into the Panzermobile our brave pilot headed into the Catosphere to find out what all the noise was about. Following the hullabaloo took him to the Business Insider site where he discovered a post about Amazon and President Trump's threat to attack the company.

According to the post by Bob Bryan who quotes from an Axios post,  President Trump is unhappy with Amazon and because of that is threatening repercussions for the company. He says Amazon is responsible for problems in the business real estate marketplace because small companies are closing. He also blames the company for problems with the U.S. Postal Service. The post does point out that President Trump has a long-standing antagonism toward Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Mr. Bezos is the owner of The Washington Post newspaper which has published articles unflattering of President Trump.

Now, back to the important stuff.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Maybe Amazon is responsible for that flat tire Mom got on the way to work today too."
