To clarify I am not a die-hard neo-liberal (in the original meaning). I am Swedish after all.
Just that the team that had the hobby to be mail-detectives, could instead have been employed by the government as nurses or caregivers.

This department is the only one within the postal service that has the right to open mail and try to decode who is the recipient. The rebuse or other shenanigans is not the majority of letters, but unreadable handwriting, wet or in other ways damaged so the recipient cannot reliably be established.
