What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

So don’t accept them. Force Amazon to full create their own full-fledged shipping company, like UPS or FedEx. I’m not talking last mile delivery but full fledged end-to-end delivery. They’re the second richest retailer behind Walmart, the can afford it and will most likely trickle down the cost to buyers.

Considering how hard the mail service has been nailed in modern times I'd rather they just took what they could get.

USPS is doing just fine in terms of volume. They absolutely do not need Amazon's business to remain in the black. The bad things you hear are mostly far right anti-USPS propaganda, they've been doing their best to weaken it for many years

Lemmy: The world is literally burning from fossil fuel and manufacturing!

Yep.

Also lemmy: Amazon's rich so they should just create a gigantic shipping fleet.

LOL wut?

Most of my Amazon deliveries come via the USPS, and that guy is coming by my house every day, no matter what.

Is that not what Amazon Logistics is? Or is that last mile only?
