“Almost comically, the miserable performance of the US Post Office in particular is held up as a classic example of how government facilities cannot compete with the private sector. Over and over the US Post Office is threatened with extinction. But somehow it never quite happens. It is widely acknowledged that post offices generally cannot compete in the modern space. But that is almost beside the point. Post offices were among the first inventions of the modern surveillance state some 500 years ago. They were, of course, developed in London and the first one resided in the bankers’ City itself.”
