| Message | Profit is fine. But the purpose of the post office is not to make money, it is to deliver the mail. A government post office can do that more efficiently than a bunch of competing hired guns who care more about making money than they do about delivering that package I mailed yesterday to Uncle Abdul in time for the end of Ramadan. |
