"One is a private business decision. The other is government meddling in private business. Not even remotely comparable. Respectfully."
Well, respectfully, I have to disagree.
Let me introduce you to the Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958
The Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958 required manufacturers to average the cost of delivering new vehicles to all buyers, which equalized the destination charge. This meant that buyers of the same make and model would pay the same destination charge, regardless of where they lived.
So, I'd say Case is onto something here.
HOTPE, have you heard the joke about the difference between a cheese head and a shit head?
ETA: I forgot to add the punchline! (It's the Illinois State Line!)

Door County Wisconsin is in the middle of a big drink of bay (Green) & lake (Michigan), so it’s a good comparison! If you ignore the okole biting frost in Egg Harbor.
That being said, I shipped and received a lot of product back in the day, costs based on distance and even fuel surcharges. I can’t imagine there is a way to get every shipper to go flat rate. You are in effect telling independent private companies how to run their business. Don’t get me started on foreign shippers flying or sailing into the US.
