     @arstechnica This is exactly what the #fascist #GOP wanted to happen by hamstringing #USPS.

     @arstechnica Alternate headlines:
     ✅ "USPS fails to sustain adequate service capacity to meet contractual commitments to its customers & its mission to US citizens"
     ✅ "Ars Technica commits to same levels of editorial bias as Fox Business"

     I dislike Amazon but blatantly putting your thumb on the scales like this is childish & irresponsible.
