You don't seem to have a full grasp on capitalism. If your letters didn't arrive you'd switch carriers and get them to arrive. It's called Fedex and UPS and DHL etc. Would one pizza shop across the nation be good? Only one choice? Somehow I think not, why make good pizza if you know your customers only choice is to not eat it? And now imagine if the govt forced everyone to buy one pizza a week to support their govt pizza shops..now how good would the pizza be? I'll stick with being able to pick from 20 different shops around me...different tastes, different prices. Competition.
