Remember when these Biden-themed "I did this" stickers at gas pumps were so popular with MAGA people...
Tom DB 🦣@musevg @georgetakei Someone needs to make “ Trump approves” stickers and stick them on every dumb decision he has made.
Chuff²Honestly the fuel surcharge is bullshit, I highly doubt it reflects reality, notice how neither FedEx nor UPS has announced one yet? Hmmm, seems like now everyone is going to use one of those two instead of the 'poor beleaguered' US Postal Service, almost as if this was an attempt to kill it…

@[email protected] interestingly this doesn't happen with #DHL in #Germany… - Maybe that's what this *"evil"* #regulation does?

Has Amazon also imposed shipping surcharges? I don't buy from there, so I don't know.
I saw this news about the 8% USPS surcharge last night and wondered whether it is a further ploy to kill the USPS by making Amazon more competitive.
Amazon uses USPS and also delivers for them. Is the USPS charging the 8% to Amazon as well? Or, did Bezos get a special deal to undercut the USPS?
Megan@shansterable @georgetakei Most consumers who use Amazon regularly are Prime members, so they won’t see an increase in shipping costs.
Small businesses that list their products on Amazon will likely have a surcharge added to our fulfillment fees like we do at Christmas.
der.hans@georgetakei Most likely:
* 6% goes directly to Trump
* 1% goes to Bill Dejoy
* 1% goes to a friend of Kristi Noem for propaganda
And it all goes into Republican ads about why the Post Office should be privatized, just not to Bezos
