US Announces Withdraw From Postal Treaty

Please don't take offense, but these subsidies are paid for by our taxes and I have no interest in paying to help you dress nice.

Also, if you're really buying clothes from China for $1-$5 you're almost certainly supporting child labor.

Subsidies? No, it's called free trade and efficient shipping. If I'm buying clothes anywhere else and it says made in China (most), I'm probably supporting child labor. I'm skipping the retailer charging $12 for the same thing I get for $1.88. What kind of country do I live in where I'm not allowed to dress cheap but well to go to work? What the absolute f*?

I walk to work, so I don't want to subsidize your commute or travel by roads, and I don't fly often so I'd rather not subsidize the FAA as well.
