“I'll tell you, the biggest problem, one of the biggest problems, maybe the biggest problem with the Post Office is Amazon. Amazon and other companies like it, they come and they drop all their mail into a Post Office, not all of it, but a big percentage of it, and they say here, you deliver it you stupid people, you deliver it. And it costs us every time they drop a package, it costs us like $3 to deliver the package for them, $3 a package, we're losing a fortune. I said, you've got to raise their rates, you're going to have to raise their rates. But Amazon, they build their big plant, always near a Post Office, and then they take a lot of this mail into areas where they could never go, because the postal system is massive and they drop packages into the Post Office by the thousands, and then they -- you -- when I say thousands, for one -- some little place and they drop them, but drop them and then they say here, you deliver them, and we lose $3 and $4 a package, on average we lose massive amounts of money.”
