Literally 10x-20x costlier.
Government just doesn't have to waste money on things like profit or marketing that private companies need to do.
- ProAm 10y agoUSPS is a private entity under the government, they fund themselves. They receive no funding from the government. You can look at the military and at obamacare/heathcare.gov for examples.
- mozumder 10y agoYou can also look at the USPS as an example, since it IS a government entity that doesn't have to serve profits. Also, the military and healthcare is more efficient in government, but you probably already knew that already.
