---Less delivery days, less processing facilities, higher postage costs, fewer mailboxes, sure...sounds GREAT!!!
For who? For the stockholders, for the end users, not so much.
But that's not what it would cost and in any event the people who mail things should pay the full loaded cost of mailing those things.
You don't know that, so now who is making things up?
I know what it costs to mail a "FedEx Letter".
BTW in a privatized system, persons in rural locations would most likely have to go into town to GET their mail because a privatized system will not deliver to unprofitable locations and since we are decidedly NOT the Netherlands, there's way more of those locations here in 'Murica.
Well great, whereas before for centuries you could go to your mailbox and get the mail and now you have to make your way into town instead.
Before, we used to clean the tap water and now we have to make our way into town and BUY water that is fit to drink
SWELL IDEA!!!
Lewis Black on Milk and Water
"You know, there was three or four different rooms.
I could go into my basement, and I could get clean water, and drink it.
And then go back out and play, and those were great times.
But then, then we decided every town and every village
which had all the water coming to it,
and all they had to do was clean it, said: "We'll save money.
We won't clean the water so much, and with the money we can save,
we can then buy the water at the supermarket."
"Try to go through this logic with me.
Our country had water coming to our homes, and even if we were locked out,
we could still get it.
Clean water, and we said, "No! F*** you!
I don't want it to be that goddamned convenient.
I wanna drive, and drive, and drive, and look for water, like my ancestors did. "
