    Many “government” entities in the US are private for-profit companies: Postal Service, vehicle licensing, electric companies, water companies, which control the very infrastructure of everyday life.

    Capitalism.

      The USPS is not a private for-profit company, despite the Republican party’s efforts to make it so for decades. It used to not even be for-profit, until the Republican party passed legislation to forcing it to be run in the black. Actually it’s still not for-profit; it just has to break even.

        That’s about to change sooner or later with the circus we have in now.
