Open Left:: Parcel Delivery with a Public Option
Open Left:: Parcel Delivery with a Public Option.
Diarist tremayne at OpenLeft, with the most cogent example of how public and private can work effectively together:
… I immediately thought of the U.S. Postal Service. Here’s a government-run service that can deliver a paper document to any remote location you choose for 42 cents. They can also deliver packages quickly and at a very competitive rate. Impressive.
But even with this efficiency the “public option” for package delivery has a number of healthy competitors. There’s FedEx (started in 1971 as Federal Express), DHL (founded in 1969), UPS (founded in 1907) among others.
Well said. Repeat, repeat, repeat…
