IF From what I've heard of the postal treaty is true, this is an unreasonable subsidy for imports and offshoring.

And it's not without environmental consequences: it offloads the carbon impacts of shipping and further enables arbitrage and cherrypicking of lax environmental regulations for production undermining the global common good.

While I don't like most aspects of the Trump administration and it's pandering policies, this one is probably good for the world, even if the people trying to do it care nothing for our environmental future.

Still.. Wtf Obama, why couldn't you fix this?
