“The private postal services that charge a premium to mail postcards for tourists in Venice are not the only examples of businesses helping to ease the pain of such bureaucracy taxes. In war-torn Detroit, for instance, private police services have cropped up to help homeowners protect their property. Detroit residents with something to protect can now band together and hire their own police service for the neighborhood, with the companies using that money to provide free services to poorer neighborhoods. And in the even more bureaucratic France, surprisingly good private train companies have popped up to take people not just within France but to Germany, Austria, and elsewhere.”
