    AWS has nothing meaningful to do with USPS or shipping, but I agree it would be interesting if it was nationalized. A nationalized hyperscaler… interesting

      AWS has nothing meaningful to do with USPS or shipping

      AWS is the single largest provider of cloud commuting services across the US Public Sector, USPS included.

      But I was more referring to the Reverse Flow of Amazon Shipping, which takes heavy advantage of USPS last mile service, because this is the most expensive part of delivery.

      Given the degree to which the state finances these businesses, it’s sort of crazy we haven’t nationalized them already.
