Not yet it isn’t :ufdup:

They have their own planes and last mile delivery, only a matter of time before we are able to walk into a kinkos style Amazon store front to ship something.

For a while it will be good competition to keep FedEx and ups honest…..until both of those are out of business because Amazon killed them too :beli:
not happening.. Bezos stepped down and they lost their balls

They are still growing and already have the shipping infrastructure to make their own shipment company

They are also getting into healthcare and their ad revenue from prime video is getting them for another boom.

UPS is getting killed by the postal service on price since they raised their prices after the latest contract.

Its a mixed bag.

Cooling inflation and beating GDP forecast, booming stock market, some huge union wins, tight labor market but at the same time 7 (tech) stocks are carrying the market, inflation is sticky in very visible areas, 2 wars are hurting supply chain, record homelessness, and mass layoffs.

Sounds similar to what Hong Kong went through for 30 years.

Hopefully this isn't the same thing.

If indeed this is the start of a 30-year run, we've failed.

The Jews really have this mastered, make it seem like the illegals are the problem by showing that all over the news while they price gouge us to infinity. If that wasn’t enough they are about to take us to world war 3, they have destroyed this county. No wonder they have been kicked out so many countries, they do this every where they go.

If Trump gets in it’s a wrap for USPS, he’s been trying to kill them for a while now :snoop:
USPS been killing themselves for a while. Shid here in Houston these idiots have been having packages backlogged for weeks because they did some dumb shyt changing out sorting machines with ones that don't work.




The time is right and prime for a competitor to come in and take over domestic shipping. If Amazon can figure something out they'd kill USPS. They don't even need to be profitable with it.

Yeah there is a huge movement from economist going on now that is shunning GDP in favor of a metric that includes social categories in the calculus.

This shyt is no different than the bailouts post 08 where the elite didn't pay for their crimes and the average man was working a main job and 2 gig jobs just to stay head above water.
