The ‘sweetheart deal’ thing seems ridiculously silly, especially when the President tries to slam USPS doing a sweetheart deal with Amazon. 90% of the time whenever I order something from Amazon, it arrives from an Amazon delivery driver. Hardly ever do they hand it off to USPS - if it was such a sweetheart deal, I’d imagine they’d want to use them all the time.
