"The US Postal Service estimated in 2007 that hand-sorting DVD mailers from Netflix and Blockbuster was costing the US Postal service tens of millions of dollars in labor costs, and that number could grow to more than $30 million or more by 2010."That sounds terrible until...
"The new proposed rates for DVD mailers would increase by 7%, and according to NewTeeVee's calculations, the increase could cost Netflix $50 million or more in increased postage costs (Netflix spends more than $600 million per year on postage)."The post office is making 20x its cost on Netflix, but that isn't enough. This is another reminder that government is a parasite which feeds on economic success.
Collegiate student ballot riggers busted for being labor leaders who made millions from the federal government. They're still rigging elections for Democrats today.
