I'm assuming subsidies are involved somewhere. Big companies get a preferred rate, and we get to pay for it. It always shocks people when they ask me ship a 15lb prop internationally, and I have to inform them that USPS shipping costs $70, UPS costs $150, and FedEx costs $190. Yet they can have a $30 Ikea chair mailed to them for free through amazon prime.

P.S. We rarely prosecute people for lying on gun forms in this country.
I highly doubt that. I "failed" a background check because I put "ME" instead of "Maine" on the form in the address field.
