This heartwarming story comes out every ten years or so, about a different late letter. Yup. Isn't very warm and fuzzy, really.

The FedGov hates competition, because it would show how incompetent they are at everything except waste, fraud and incarcerating more people per capita than any other country.

But this does not preclude others from starting more efficient post offices and putting the gov'ment post office out of business. ;)
