It's interesting that a country such as the US which, in my view from the outside, seems to generally oppose far-reaching public services, still has a postal service that delivers mail and packages on Saturdays.
I'm from Sweden, which I guess falls somewhere close to the opposite end of the spectrum in many people's eyes, and we've never had that, in my lifetime at least. :)
- rdouble 14y agoEstablishment of a postal service is actually in the US Constitution.
- sageikosa 14y agoI'm thinking of applying for a Letter of Marques, since it is in the Constitution.
- plorkyeran 14y agoAs the article mentioned, the USPS isn't funded by taxes.
