I had a realization that the very existence of private domestic shippers in countries indicates a failure of their government to provide universal infrastructure needed by all citizens.
There may be specialized needs like same-day couriers, special handling requirements and other edge cases, but those should be small specialty houses, not international mega-corps.
Internet too. I had to call and ask an internet company to please lay line to my house for years, and they wouldnt do it until 2015.
They kept telling me I’d have to pay half of the cost for a digger, which they said would be a total of 20k.
yeah we saw it less with internet until they started applying the phone line things to internet. even now the current administration cut what it considered broadbrand for subsidy purposes.
