get rid of the almost free epacket postage for the chineese.
problem solved
Trump did.
eBay’s negotiated an exclusive deal with China Post and USPS and 2010. Obama and Biden sat back and did nothing as eBay and its Communist Chinese vendors bankrupted USPS. USPS always made money on foreign mail prior to eBay’s agreement. In 2010 USPS’s profits on foreign mail were greatly reduced as eBay’s new shipping label program was able to run for 1/2 of 2010. From 2011 onward USPS lost increasing amounts due to eBay’s abuse of a 1969 UPU program. After being contacted by concerned citizens, Trump threatened to withdrawal from the UPU if the abusive pricing was not stopped. When other nations ignored him, he began the 1 year withdrawal process. Faced with not having access to the largest economy on earth via their mail systems the other countries agreed to fix the issue.

Are you kidding? Trumps gone-Biden/Obama back. Now US portion of E-Packet Free to Chinese sellers.
Cant have US citizens making any money.
In some cases, rail could replace trucks. At one time the Postal Service shipped some magazines relatively short distances rail in containers to reduce backhaul costs. While air will continue to be dominant for first-class mail and lightweight packages, containers shipped long distance by rail and short distance by trucks could lower the US Postal Service carbon footprint and increase reliability if managed with reliability as a top priority.

That was supposed to have happened in July when DeJoy took over, but he is only worried about his investments in other competitors that he lied about during his confirmation hearings. The worse that USPS performs or increases their costs to US Sellers, the more that start using the companies that he is invested in and he gets even richer. They need to fire him before he completely destroys what is left of the USPS as we all know it. If Congress were to get rid of that $5 billion a year prefunding of retirees medical retirement benefits they would no longer need all of these changes to break even once again. But that is not what he wants to do as it is not in DeJoys BEST INTEREST!!!!
