Can you imagine if AT&Timecastzon ran the post office? What would the mail system look like then?
So you are saying the Post Office is run much more efficiently than private delivery companies such as UPS/FedEx/DHS?

The government runs Interstate 5 better than a private corporation could.

I think that the government can run a broadband system better than a private corporation could.

Where we see disaster is where government steps in where private business (or even private charity) ought to serve and vice versa. But there are appropriate roles for government.
Wow, Comrade...at least the trains would run on time!

The trains on time? Do you have any experience at all with our public transportation system? Perhaps I'm colored by experience with the MBTA- the best part is you can use it to criticize both public and private systems, as the subway and bus system is 100% MBTA-run, while the commuter rail is ran by a private contractor, and both are always late!

No, I'm asking if you can imagine what the mail system would look like if AT&Timecastzon ran it. Do you not understand English?

Neither UPS/FedEx/DHS will deliver anything anywhere for less than a dollar, but I think the USPS is also a legal monopoly where competitive behavior against it is prohibited.

But back to my question -- would we have to pay to receive mail? Would we have to pay to receive more mail? If we got our newspaper in the mail, would our services be "bundled?" Would they read our correspondence to tell advertisers what things we were interested in?
