How cheap postage from China is another UN bureaucratic scam - being paid by American Taxpayers

"As Winston Sterzel says: Seriously? Why does it cost more to send a postcard to my neighbor than it does for a Company in China to send a package right across the world?
He explains how an old intergovernmental committee — the Universal Postal Union (UPU) — sets the rules so that rich nations subsidize the poor ones. Like all government committees it clings to a good idea for so many years it kills it. It was set up in 1874, and now in 2024, a nation with a space station is draining money from our postal systems and from our local jobs. What a rort…
Everyone paying for postage in the West is also paying the post for businesses in China to send cheap things which undermine local sellers. It is very difficult for a business using postal delivery to compete in the West — even in its own domestic market.
The UPU is — naturally — another subsidiary of the United Nations. What else do we need to know? It works as well as we’d expect any 150 year old unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy to work — like napalm on a free market.
The UPU motto now is “One World. One Postal Network.” They look, act and smell just like a larval world government.
It’s time to Exit the UN now."

Get the UN out of the USA.
Let's get rid of it forever. NIFO
In some countries, wages are (too) high due to corrupt union influence on gov. This goes with high tax rates.
Governments of those countries give money to another group, the poor suffering nations (eg China!). Transfer of money is via the Universal Postal Union (UPU).
The first group have struggling small business with high postal/shipping charges, small businesses who are competing against Chinese corporations who get cheap subsidized shipping rates.
Cut them off and eBay and Amazon profits will sink like they are in quicksand.
Given their corrupt influence in D.C., that won't happen until D.C. is crippled.
